common understanding
I let her play with the real phone (she knows the difference between her toy phone and the real one) and she doesn't scream bloody murder when she's on her tummy.
I even got some belly crawling out of her.

Movies you should see
We have been spending less time in the theatre and more time renting movies from the digital box, cuz Stella Mo is too young to eat popcorn. Some resent favorites that you have to see:
1408 - An awesome horror film that will scare you and totally blow your mind. It is not a gore fest it is a mind melt. (waa waa waa)
Superbad - One word= Supergood
The King of Kong: Fist full of Quarters - It is not just for people who are totally into old school video arcade games, otherwise it would have been made for the same 35 people who are in the documentary. It is the epic story of the goliath champion of high scores and the contender who challenges his reign... at Donkey Kong. The story line is really good and the wife of the contender, is the straight man to her very kind but maybe a little gullible husband. He's a good guy who really just can't catch a break and has to battle, at Donkey Kong, some of the nerdiest followers on the planet (think "people who are prime for a cult, any cult") and a Nick Cave look alike. It is a fun exciting movie that will leave you questioning the human condition and why you don't have a full size arcade Donkey Kong machine in your garage.
