Isabella's first "drop off" birthday party (and Bella writes her own name)

This weekend Bella went to her first "drop off" birthday party. It was one of her friends from school, Ava, and she's been talking about the party for weeks now. She turned shy as I dropped her off but Ava's mom told her she could call me if I was needed. Then someone suggested Ava take Bella's hand and lead her into the living room and she went, so I basically just took off.


When I picked her up, it sounded like she had a really good time. It was a Rapunzel theme and they gave me a picture of Bella standing in a cardboard castle. She's not smiling, so I wonder what was going through her head at that moment. She didn't want to leave with me, so I took that as a good sign. If took me a little bit to get her out of there, the party was right during her naptime, so she was pretty cranky. Naptime for Bella seems to be a thing of the past anyway, so it wasn't that big of a deal.

All ready to go!


This is the birthday card Bella made for Ava. She wrote Ava on the front and then drew a picture of Ava with their other friend Kate "stomping" on her head. (not sure what that is from). Notice she's writing her own name now. This is a really recent accomplishment. When she writes it, she writes the letters in order, but randomly across the page. She also likes to color/fill in any letters like Bs or As.
