Saturday night was a pajama party/book-reading party at our local Barnes & Noble. Proceeds of books bought went to benefit Stella's P.S. 39.Several of Stella's classmates were there. The the most special of the classmates was Nello. Stella says that everyone likes Nello. He's smart. He can already read.
Earlier in the day Nello attended Stella's birthday party. And if you look carefully at the group photo in the post about the party, you can see them holding hands. That's because Stella is sweet on Nello.
Nello this. Nello that. Nello, Nello, Nello!
I'm very happy that Stella finds "smart" to be attractive. That's a good thing. Interestingly, Stella is also sweet on Nello's older sister, Milla. She loves this entire family!
Now, flash back to the pajama party. The book-reading portion is done and all the kids are walking around the store... talking, playing, reading. I'm wondering where Stella is. So I look around and eventually find her and Nello tucked away in a corner behind the little stage, talking and reading. She sees me and gives me a big, sly smile. I walk away. Happy girl.
