Its been a busy summer and its almost over. Isabelle spent much of this summer being a big sister. I dont think Gina and I could be more proud of her for quickly learning how to be a wonderful sister. She is so thougtful, caring and helpful around her brother. We are very lucky to have 2 kids who adore eachother (for now anyway).
In the last year or two Isabelle has turned into a pretty adventurous eater. Before kindergarten we were stuck with hot dogs, chicken strips and mac and cheese. Now she is open to so many different things. She loves tacos, cheeseburgers, rissoto, cous cous, quinoa and whole bunch of things that I never imagined she would eat. As a litte girl she used to hide meat in her cheeks instead of ever actually swallowing it. She loves cooking in general and really loves watching the show at benihana, last time we were there she had some sushi, she didnt like it but I was happy she tried it.
We havent had time to get out on the water at all this year, we havent been to a cabin or gone camping. Hopefully we will get back to that next summer when Ethan is a little older. Thankfully Auntie Patty and Uncle Kyle have taken Isabelle out a few times, she loves the water and boat rides. Mostly she loves her cousins and has a blast whenever she is with them.
Isabelle's cousin Natalie is finally old enough to really play with her and they have a bunch of fun together. I think Isabelle likes being an older cousin almost as much as a big sister!
Isabelle is so fancy...
Biaggi's is one of Isabelle's favorite restaruants, she loves the sgetti but mostly wants the bread you can dunk in the cheese.
Isabelle got her very first pedicure last week. I think she looks a little nervous in the pictures but she really liked it and wont stop talking about going back!
