last weekend we celebrated bella's third birthday. what's the difference between a two-year old and a three-year old? you can have conversations like this with a three year old at the dinner table:

marty
so what part of today did you not like bella?

bella
when Isaac was touching our dolls.

marty
oh. and what was your favorite part of the day?

bella
when Isaac stopped touching our dolls.

the simplicity of the small girl rejuvenates me.
