Hello Isabel!

Today I got to meet the new baby I'll be getting on Monday*. I was really glad to finally meet little Isabel as I'd heard so much about how cute she is, and she is! I missed 30 minutes of my lunch hour because of Isabel's visit and I was a little upset about that, but I quickly got over it and just enjoyed seeing the baby.

Isabel will be 6 weeks old on Monday so she's still quite little. She has a personality, though. While I was holding her she kept sticking her tongue out and making faces, even though she was sleep. It was the cutest thing! And she felt so good snuggled up against my chest. Since my babies are all toddlers now, except for Jessa, I'd forgotten how sweet it is to cuddle with a really little baby. Jessa is still young but she's not as cuddly as Isabel is. I can't wait to have Isabel in my class.

Oh, and did I tell you she's sooooo cute?! Her mom is white and her dad is black and Isabel looks like a Mexican. She has a head full of straight, black hair (which I hope stays straight and black) and pretty cafe au lait skin. She proves my belief that mixed babies are always the prettiest. Isabel isn't quite as cute as Maya, my other mixed baby, but she's close.

I'm really looking forward to Isabel starting Monday. She will help my room become a real baby room again. It was becoming a de facto toddler room and I don't like teaching toddlers, even though I love the heck out of my two todds because I've had them since they were small. Anyway, I'll have a little, little one to care for come October 2nd and I'm really, really glad about it.

Welcome aboard, Isabel!

*Are the days of the week always capitalized? I keep forgetting. :)
