Dance! Dance!

Isabella loves to dance. She dance any time she hers music, no matter the genre. She also commands that everyone around her dance also. So, when I found out that the local dance studio offered a creative dance class for 2 and 3 year olds. I signed her up. The first half of the class she wears ballet shoes and the second half the use tap shoes. She loves to dance around the house in her tap shoes.

She had her first class last Tuesday and she loved it. She has been asking to go back ever since. I am so happy she likes it. I was worried because Isa is very attached to Mommy and Papa. I was not sure how she would handle going into a class or a new place without us. She went in and sat on a purple dot, which she was really happy about because she likes purple. I said bye and walked out. I went out to look at the TV in the lobby that parents can watch the class through and she didn’t shed a tear. I watched her doing everything the teacher asked her with excitement. So mission dance class was accomplished.

New School Year

September 1st was a new start for Isa. Although she had already been in here new class for about a month the 1st was the official day of her start. Which meant new kids would be joining her class. Ed is still getting Isa ready in the mornings since I leave way to early in the morning. He is getting really good at doing her hair. I am very proud of him. Here is a picture of her posing in her new uniform all dressed and ready to go.

 

Pizza!

Isabella has discovered pizza! It is her favorite food to eat. She sometimes even ask for it at breakfast. Of course we have to tell her that pizza is not a breakfast choice so she will settle for her favorite breakfast food instead Cereal(multigrain cheerios).

Kitty

When my Neice Abby was about 2 years old. Ed and I took her to build a bear to make a Hello Kitty. Ever since then she has had to take that with her every where she goes. She is now 5.
The weekend of Isabella's birthday party Abby came for a visit. Sometime during the weekend Isabella came to me asking, " Mama I Isabella's Kitty." I was not sure what she was talking about and she took me to her room. She remembered she had a Hello Kitty her Abuela had given her. She got so excited and ran to show Abby her Kitty. The rest of the weekend the girls ran around with their Kitty's. Little did I know that this would be the first stuffed animal that Isabella would become attached to. We now take it where ever we go except school. We have convinced her that Kitty need's to sleep while Isa is at school. So she puts him to bed before we leave the house.
It is so sweet  that Isa looks up to be big Cousin Abby and wants to do things just like her.
Here is Isa with Kitty:

Fun with Cousins

They day after ISa’s party we had sometime to just hang our with family before they headed home. Isabella loves to be with her cousins. She often ask when we are leaving the house if we are going to see them, I wish it were that easy just to pop on over for a visit but, when we are visiting she is in heaven. She wants to do everything that they do. Including taking on hello kitty as her lovey that she now has to take everywhere just like her cousin Abby.

Happy 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Isabella's 2nd birthday Backyardigans style or as she says, "Nenees." Here are some of the million pictures Ed and I took. Also included are some of the picture Abuela took since Ed and I were busy hosting most of the time. We had a blast thanks to our wonderful friends and family!
