Stella enjoys the newly placed door to the half-bath which opens into the living room.
Stella: I need to go potty. I can watch [the news] right from here!
At bedtime
We used to sit in the chair in her room until she fell asleep and are not doing that now. Still, she asks us to "sit in the chair" each night after her story.
stella: you sit in chair?
mom/dad: no boogie. I need to feed baby brother/clean the kitchen/do laundry/get ready for bed. I'll come check on you in a few minutes though.
stella: how 'bout this. Here's the deal...you go feed baby brother, then clean the kitchen and get ready for bed.
mom/dad: ok, that sounds good
stella: here's the rest of the deal
mom/dad: oh, ok
stella: you go feed baby brother, then clean the kitchen and get ready for bed, then you come sit in chair.
mom/dad: ok, that's a good deal. I'll be back after I feed baby brother and clean the kitchen. Good night Stella. I love you.
stella: good night. I love you
...5 minutes later she's fast asleep
Having dinner...her favorite, spaghetti
Stella: I'm having peanut butter spaghetti
mom/dad: oh you are?
Stella: its chocolate spaghetti
mom/dad: that sounds good!
Stella: you like chocolate spaghetti?
mom/dad: i would like that
Stella: or pineapple spaghetti with juice?
