I know this picture is washed out a bit, but it's still such a pretty picture of her, had to share...

Yesterday we went to the playground.  There were some boys there, a little older than Stella, playing some kind of crazy boy game about rocket ships blasting off and such.  I was watching Stella pretty close to make sure no one was mean to her, of course. :)  But they all seemed to be getting along very well and Stella liked the attention.  At one point she ran over to me saying, "Boys talking to me."  She was very excited about it.  How cute.

Lately she has been saying, "Let me do that."  These are her instructions to me prior to putting on her pants, getting in her car seat, putting the lid on her sippy cup, brushing her teeth etc.   

We had a very successful day in potty training.  She told me before she had to use the restroom, so we'd rush in there and she'd do the 'big girl' thing.   Only one little accident and she stopped herself and completed the job in the potty!  :)  Go Stella!  I'm sure she'll just die when she's 16 and she learns that I was telling everyone her potty training details...so shhhhh! Mums the word. 

This evening, coming out of Walgreens, there was a car with it's windows open playing some loud music.  Stella put a stop to us getting in the car so she could dance for a minute.
