She is the best big wheel rider. She can go off the curb, do circles, turn her wheel to run you over, and she has that look of determination that all big wheel riders know and have.
She can tell me who hit her at school. Today it was, "Mommy, owie." "What happened, Izzy?" "Rex hit me!" "Why, Izzy?" "With his hand, owie". Tomorrow I'll be kicking that little kids bootie!!!! (Just kidding, I think he is on his way to being one of my future students). I just love that she can actually tell me, in surprising detail, what she is doing at school. I can even get an update on what she ate and what she did. "Izzy, what did you do at school today?" "I played in mud. I got dirty."
She has one accident a month, maybe, during the day and then a couple times a week at night. She is really good at going on her own and even her school has commented that they tell her to go and she won't, but will go when she needs to. She also will get out of a pool to go potty. No swim diapers for her.
She is a singer. Her favorites right now which I have to catch on video because they are ridiculously cute: "Tuppins" from Mary Poppins, "Buenas Dias" (today she even shook hands with us, and "Peek a boo" (a personal favorite of mine because she is too CUTE).
We are contemplating taking her to the movies soon since she is a movie lover.
This blog is a story of two parents, both special educaton teachers, trying to raise a first grader and a precocious preschooler. We love to travel, cook, tend to our "backyard farm", and spend time with each other.

Parent Conference
Sorry about the last post, but it has to be done.
So on a lighter note, I was talking to Paul the other day when we were leaving Izzy's school and I was saying I wanted a parent conference. Being a teacher and not really knowing what she does, I want to know. So today, when we were talking with her teachers they said they are starting something new and that all the 2's and 3 year olds will be tested based on a developmental rating scale (probably similar to what I gave her). I told the teachers about my desire, jokingly, about a parent conference, and they were so willing to have one. So after she gets tested in the next month or two, I will be getting my first parent conference and to be very honest with you, I am giddy with excitement.

A Will
With this whole Michael Jackson thing, it has really gotten me to quicken up the process of writing a Will. Life is short, unexpected, and when it is is time God can take us quickly. Everytime I talk about it, it is scary and sad, but it has to be done for Isabella's sake and our families sake. I do not want anyone left in court to fight for her. There should be no fighting. She will need everyone's support if something was to happen to us both and it will surely not be a time for bickering. She will go where she needs to go, everything will have to be tended to, including the dogs. Therefore, I will be filling out the Will this weekend and will have Paul fill one out to and it will be here in the house.
Here is a free will from the CA Bar Association if you live in California. I am sure that other states, have similar forms for free.
