While Isabella spent the whole day with Mike, they went to Toys R Us and got her a Cabbage Patch Kid doll, and went out to dinner. When they were home, Isabella sat at the table and started drawing pictures. ''What are you drawing?'' Mike asked as he walked towards Isabella. ''Us'' Isabella pointed out, ''That's Mommy, Mama, me, Callie, Brandon, you, Jesus, Jude, and Mariana''. ''That's really nice, Kitten'' Mike sat next to her. ''I miss Mommy and Mama'' she said. ''Don't worry, Iz'' replied Mike, ''I'm taking you home tomarrow''. ''But I don't want to leave here either'' Isabella said sadly. ''I know, sweetheart'' said Mike as he held her close, ''You know, Brandon looks a little tall in this picture, don't you think?''
''That's because Brandon's really tall'' she said.
''No he's not''
''Yes he is'' she said, ''He's taller than you and he's taller than Callie. He's like a giraffe''.
Mike laughs at her response. ''What?'' Isabella asked.
''You really get me, you know that?''
''I know, daddy'' she said. Mike smiled and kissed Isabella's temple. ''Can we have sketti for dinner?''
''It's spaghetti, Iz''
''Well, can we have it?''
''Sure''
After dinner, Mike gave Isabella a bubble bath. He sat and watched her play with her toys in the bathtub. ''Did you know that the sky is blue because it reflects the ocean?'' she asked, ''I learned it in school''
''Interesting'' said Mike.
''Daddy, are you going to come to my birthday?''
''I wouldn't miss it for the world, sweetheart''
''Good. I asked Mommy and she said everyone was coming'' Isabella told him, ''Someday, I wanna play piano like Brandon''
''Do you want Brandon to teach you?''
''uh-huh''
'' Huh, so both of my kids like music'' Mike said.
