It’s Jiggy Day – 20 Things I Love About Isabel

It’s Jiggy Day. As I read Lisa’s blog post today, I realized that I needed to make a list of my own. Sometimes, I forget to notice these things. But they NEED to be noticed and the NEED to be told to our kids – frequently.

20 things I love about Isabel:

1. those infinite eyes
2. the way she gets completely wrapped up in a project
3. her love of all things creative
4. reading together in my bed
5. when she fries herself an egg
6. how much she loves making and giving presents
7. the way she cares with her whole self
8. her sneaking out of her room at night to peek in at my Skype
9. picking her up from school to find her helping her teacher
10. how responsible she is
11. that she’ll do her homework, even if it’s not graded
12. her willingness to help me whenever I need it
13. taking pictures of her; she said she’d ‘NEVER’ mind
14. her attention to detail; you can’t slip anything by her
15. eating breakfast with her at Chuckwagon
16. when she patiently teaches her brother
17. swimming in the pool with her
18. cooking with her
19. watching her learn new things
20. that she will play with the ‘loner kid’
