We recently discovered the new ‘Shops at Don Mills’ where everything has been renovated and built with a secluded ‘high end-ish’ feel. If you’re familiar with chef Mark McEwan, you will find his own grocery store as part of this new establishment. Stellar’s highlight was of course the water fountain. The spitting water holes and deeper water levels attract many other kids who happen to pass by. Stellar refers to this place as the ‘green water park’. I guess it’s because of the colour that reflect off the tiles. Instead of running around the fountain, Stellar enjoyed washing her shorts repeatedly in the far most corner.

We recently went to a Gymboree birthday party. Stellar being who she is, didn’t really join in any of the games. The only object that seemed to attract her was going through the big tubes. Head for the light…

It may look as if she’s strapping on her special dance shoes, but she’s really looped on many hair elastics around her feet:P Her creativity never ceases to bring joy and laughter.

Gong gong (chinese for ‘grandpa’) took us out on a trail in Gatineau. Lon decided to put Stellar out on the cliff by herself. I of course didn’t agree with this but he promised to jump in after her if she did happen to fall into the water.
She was suprisingly cool as a cucumber.

Stellar’s eyes are always lurking around watching/staring/observing someone or something…even while swinging. “I love watching people.”-Stellar
