Things I Need to Learn How to Say (Apparently, According to Stella)

"OK, you can have the camera now."

"OK, we can buy some toys at Target now."

"OK, you can have some Jell-O now, kids."

"Stella, what am I already good at saying?"

(Really, if you didn't see this answer coming....)

"No."

When She Grows Up

"Mommy, when I grow up I'm going to live in a, uh...uh, what was that place called where we stayed in Portland? The place with all the doors?"

"An apartment."

"Yes! An apartment. And I'm going to have a hubsand (not a typo) who gets to go to work everyday!"

Previously, on Stella's future plans:

"Mom, when am I going to be a mom? It's taking soooo long!?"

What she calls her sister, Rowena Willamina Marie:

"Rowena Millamina Rowee"

For the Hanson Family Annals

While looking at a book, Gianna notices a little red bow:

"That's a Snow White bow! Those don't live in books, they live in people's hair."

Retelling her dream from the night before Stella insists that she "woke up with a large frown on her face."

And Rowena? She's taken to shaking her head, "No!" while holding onto a piece of furniture. The only problem is she is so passionate in her shaking that she frequently causes her own imbalance and crashes to the floor. Tears ensue.

Sad indeed.
