Isabel's Antics

The older that Isabel gets, the sillier she gets. Lately she has said and done some of the funniest things. I was thinking I need to write them down so I thought I'd write some on here and share them! :)

• Isabel has a fascination with mini-vans. Ever since we rented one to go to the beach last summer w/ my family she has decided that she wants one. We told her that maybe one day she could get one but they cost a lot of money. The other day she brings it up again and I said, "well, actually we already have 2 cars." So, she says, "mommy, i have an idea. we can switch and give our cars to some other people and then we can buy a mini-van!" Brilliant Idea! :)


• Isabel also is a big fan of basements. Now, we don't have a basement but my grandparents do and so do our friends, the Smittys. Both basements are fun and full of toys. So, now she says, "Mommy, i think we should find another house....one with a basement. do they cost a lot of money?"


• Isabel refuses to acknowledge any other word for stomach. If we or anyone else calls it "belly" or "tummy" she reminds us, "actually....it's called a stomach."


• Isabel is very particular with song selection....i wonder where she got that from?? hah. Sometimes we listen to our mp3 player, sometimes cds, and sometimes the radio. If we are listening to the radio and just scanning she will say, "wait! that is my favorite song!" and then we have to listen to it. Lately these have been the songs that she wanted to stop on: "Family Tradition" by Hank Williams Jr., "Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band, "Back in Black" by ACDC, "What a Fool Believes" by Michael McDonald, and some weird song by Pink about hitting somebody! And no....we don't always let her listen to the songs she wants to hear. Her constant favs are: Anything from a Dora CD, Raffi, Andrew Peterson, Meredith Andrews, and Dierks Bentley.


• One day a couple weeks ago, she came home from school, went straight to the refrigerator and got out a lunchable. She asked for help opening it, ate it, and then went to her room and said, "i'm going to bed now. don't come with me." and she WENT AND FELL ASLEEP!


• Today she was trying to gather medical supplies to care for Cookie Monster and she was describing how she wanted something to put pretend medicine in so I let her use the little cup that comes on top of the Children's Motrin. Her response was, "Oh, that's perfect!"

I'm sure she'll say something silly tomorrow too! :) We love her and her sense of humor!
