Not a lot of words today. Just this:

And our monthly family picture:

Look at my big girl. She used the potty and wore panties that whole day to mark the occasion.

Yes I know the basketball is weirdly proportioned in my drawing. But it’s not a real basketball. It’s a giant blow up one. That, yes, Isabelle pounces on.

I’d run away too if Isabelle was always grabbing my butt.

Also the way she says I love you: “wuv wa” is darn tootin’ cute too.

Isabelle does this every night now. She puts on her own shirt and is sooooo proud. There are times that she puts the shirt on backwards and I don’t have the heart to flip it the right way.

She’ll stand there with her arms up in the air with the biggest smile on her face. Sometimes she jumps up and down to emphasize how important this accomplishment is. Sometimes she even says “da!!”, meaning “ta da”.  I want to remember that always.

There are many days where Isabelle does something like this and I think, ooh I want to remember that. I should write that down or draw it. But then I don’t and then it’s lost.

So, this is a start to a new illustration series, the “I Love” series. It might not be daily drawing but dependent on when Isabelle does something I want to remember. It’ll be sporadic drawing but at least it’ll be drawing.
