It’s Jiggy Day – 20 Things I Love About Isabel
- October 8, 2012 - by Marilou Jaen, in family life, with 6 comments -
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:
- those infinite eyes
- the way she gets completely wrapped up in a project
- her love of all things creative
- reading together in my bed
- when she fries herself an egg
- how much she loves making and giving presents
- the way she cares with her whole self
- her sneaking out of her room at night to peek in at my Skype
- picking her up from school to find her helping her teacher
- how responsible she is
- that she’ll do her homework, even if it’s not graded
- her willingness to help me whenever I need it
- taking pictures of her; she said she’d ‘NEVER’ mind
- her attention to detail; you can’t slip anything by her
- eating breakfast with her at Chuckwagon
- when she patiently teaches her brother
- swimming in the pool with her
- cooking with her
- watching her learn new things
- that she will play with the ‘loner kid’

Ah…this is so perfect and it thrills me to see your twenty things documented! I have tons of love for both you and Isabel on Jiggy Day.
Reading your post & Lisa’s post has me in tears. Getting to know who Jocie was through Lisa is a gift. Lisa is a gift. Having the opportunity to know Isabel is a gift. I surround myself with people who inspire me in life and who make me want to be a better person. You & Lisa are mothers who love so completely. Your children will be better people because of who you are. I am a better person because of who you are.
I hate to appear lazy, but ditto what Aurora said! I honestly can’t say it any better than she did. Love this post, you and Lisa!
Another ditto on what Aurora said here. Hugs and much love and someday I hope to meet Miss Isabel in person and give her a big hug too!
