Stella sings in the morning if she has woken up in a good mood. It’s a nice way to judge how the morning is going to be. Singing? Good mood. Crying/whining “mommy?” plaintively? Not so good morning.
Overheard today: (singing)
“I not a baby anymore. I a big girl now” (repeat 3x) into:
“Mommy sleeping. my REAL Daddy sleeping in a big bed” (repeat 2x) into:
“Daddy the best in the world… daddy the best in the wooorrr-ld.” (I particularly liked the drawn out ending, like the ending to a real song.
*************
“Stella? Where are you going?”
“To the coffee shop. To get plastic lions.” Um ok.

I work during Stella’s naps, and sometimes I let her talk in there to herself for a bit until she starts to get annoyed, usually because I am finishing up a project, a thought, etc. From her room, waking up from a nap an hour earlier than usual:
“Mommy? You done writing email?”

Love this. Isn't it scary how these young kids know "email"?
when Molly was 4 she made a big Father's Day poster for Bud showing him with sticky out hair and a grin full of many many teeth. She laboriously wrote: You are the BEST Daddy ever because you let me do things mommy never lets me do.
Says it all.
It's so fun to hear now the many smart, funny, delightful things going on in Stella's head...I'm sure you must agree!
