I have decided, for the sake of my children, that I am not going to post pictures of them here in this blog. However, I do believe that I may have certain opportunities to reveal pictures of them without actually revealing them. I believe that these two pictures above, are those types of pictures. These are pictures of Belle. These pictures encompass all the magic that is Belle. I took these after Lily's Step-Up, when we came home from an extremely long day out in the sun. As crazy as our day was, Belle is crazier.
Whenever anyone outside of my husband, hears either of us say, "Belle is crazy", they take it as something of an insult, especially my mom. People feel obliged to say, "no she's not, she is such a good girl." Belle is indeed a good girl, she is more than a good girl, she is a great girl, with a heart that is totally unmatched in any other child or adult, I have ever seen. My feeble attempts at even describing who she is, do not even begin to do her justice. Belle is a force, a crazy, crazy force and when we say crazy we never mean for it to be negative or mean spirited. She is crazy about life, love, making people laugh and clowning around.
She is the epitome of a party girl. She ALWAYS wants to have fun. She is never ever boring, or moody or quiet. Drew and I have discovered the only thing that really quiets Belle, other than a deep, deep, deep slumber, where her lips quite literally are some times still moving, is an ipod. After seven and a half years, we had a thirty minute moment of silence the other day, in broad daylight and wondered what on earth had happened. We looked around for Belle and found her in front of our giant mirror in the living room with Drew's ipod on.
Belle is movement and chaos. The sweetest chaos you have ever seen.
