It dawned upon me that Isabel is indeed growing up. 

Today before we changed her to jammies, she told me that she wanted to wear a dress to sleep. I asked if a particular dress was okay. She looked at it and agreed. So I took the dress out of her cupboard and put it on the sofa bed.  

When daddy changed her, he didn’t have a clue what agreement she had with me. She protested and screamed when he changed her. She refused to wear the long sleeves jammies top. She insisted on wearing the dress on the sofa bed and daddy managed to persuade her to wear the long pants jammies with her dress. As she sleeps in an air-conditioned room, I told her that she has to put on a thin jacket at the very least. She agreed. So tada, my almost 3 YO girl went to bed like that tonight. 

I’m glad that Isabel is asserting her independence and opinion but I also miss the times where she doesn’t have a say. 😛

Don’t grow up too fast, darling.
