I bought a set of Baby Bug flash cards for Isabelle over a month ago. I love them so much. So much that I didn’t want Isabelle to get her cute little grubby smooshing hands on them. Destructive little hands that rip and crinkle. Eeeek! But they aren’t meant to sit in their little muslin bag unused. They’re meant to be played with.

So today when she walked up to me holding a deck of cards saying, “oh-ben” (the way she pronounces open with the emphasis on the ben noise), I let go and let her play.

Now I’m off to let go and play. I’m thinking no daily drawings this weekend. We’re planning on going to San Francisco to visit Olinda and off to Clayton to check out a newly opened park. Hope everyone has a great weekend. See you on Monday.
