Sometimes I just want to hit a pause button in life.....however, when I think I want to, the next day Stella always does something sillier :)
Stella has been doing great (so far) in her big girl room/bed. I know there will be day when the crawling out will begin....but for now, she's doing good. We change her diaper and instead of us putting her in bed she says, "Me do it." She climbs up from the end and crawls under the cover. Then she looks over and says, "Bye, bye mama/dada." Wait, what? Really? Um, no.....I need a kiss, and a hug, and don't you want to sing a song?
We moved lots of her toys upstairs to her playroom and have started playing up there more in the evenings. She goes up there on her own here and there, but not for very long....until this week. I am on spring break this week. I got her up from her nap and she said, "Bye, bye mama. Me play." I shut the doors upstairs to prevent her from going into the bathrooms, etc. and close the gate. She yells, "Me done" when she is all done and I go get her. Today she played up there for quite awhile! I went up to play with her just because I missed being with her.....although it did allow me to unload the dishwasher, and get some other stuff done.
And when I did go up and play....it was almost like we both needed the little bit of alone time because we had so much fun! She had so many deep belly laughs and was acting so silly. I love this spring break time together! It is the perfect amount of time. And I know she misses her little friends because everyday she talks about them :)
Today we went to the library to a little toddler class and she checked out some books for this week. I think she would have checked out the whole library if I would have let her! Then we ended our outing with a little lunch at Burger King.
So maybe I don't want to hit a pause button....each day brings something new that I wouldn't want to miss out on :)

Well said my sister. It just keeps getting better and better. And the library? Just think of it as a free Barnes & Noble...and the grey tubs will be become your best friend! Enjoy those giggles!
