While we were in North Augusta a couple of weeks ago Isabella spent quite a bit of time in the pool. While I was fetching her toys on one occasion I came out of the water to hear her say "sit right here Stella". I asked her who she was talking to and she looks at me like I am stupid or something and says "my friend pretend Stella". I thought this was adorable and videotaped her playing with Stella in the pool for a while. I figured she would forget about it after a while but now two weeks later pretend Stella is still around. She comes everywhere with us. Sometimes she is small enough to fit in your hand and sometimes she is Isabella sized but Isa doesn't go long without talking about her.
On one occasion she asked Katie to hold her but then looked at her and said " but don't eat her" with a concerned look on her face. Like Katie makes it a habit to eat small children.
Isa has even started blaming things on pretend Stella. If I catch her doing something bad she will say "It was pretend Stella" "or Stella and I were only pretending". It is so cute I have a hard time disciplining her for things.

It has been lovely watching her with her pretend friend being included in so many activities, especially running. Do I have a theme in mind? Could it be running? Could I be gradually going crazy or am I simply already crazy and I should just enjoy it?
i think you should just enjoy it. after the bear i think we all need a little time to mentally heal.
Isabella smells weird.
SHE SMELLS PRETTY! just ask her. she never poops.
yeah, well she just did on my leg tonight.
I wonder how she will react when/if the real Stella shows up...
i have wondered that also. last night she started to add danielle to the mix so that is fun. she started talking about when you visited in october and asked if next time, you could bring the girls in your suitcase:)
