We often try to show you guys how much we love you by buying you nice things and taking you places, (all of which is nice) but sometimes it's just nice to focus all of our attention on you without any distractions. We sometimes forget that what you really need from us aren't material things, but quality time. I promise to try to remember that more often.
Dad and I made it a point to make it all about YOU today. You were ok with not having a party this year, all you really want is for us to be there at your school to celebrate with you and your friends. And, we are more than happy to oblige (with cupcakes and juice in hand).
This was also at the end of your "class elections". Two weeks ago, you came home super excited saying that your class was going to have elections, and that you'd decided to run for class leader. You made campaign posters, asked me for ideas for slogans, and even got your dad on board with your campaign speech. So for the past 2 weeks I'd find little scraps of paper with "Vote for Isabella" EVERYWHERE!
Today, we made it just in time to see the vote count and you won by a landslide 19-2. Congrats, baby! First up, second grade....next up, who knows?
Afterwards, we bought a couple of pizzas and your uncle Ivan bought you an ice cream cake. That's literally all we did, and you still had the time of your life. How lucky are we?
Happy Birthday, Baby.
