And here is a Bella quote from the other day:
You are not going to go on a date mommy, you are going to stay for a long hour…
(She said this because we did go on a date the other day and when we left she was fine, but she would not go to bed without crying. And because Ayi will not let her cry, she tried to get her in bed and finally called us, we were on our way home anyway, but when we arrived they were all still out on the couch. All she needed to do was actually put them in bed and shut the door, but I don't think she is comfortable with that...oh well.)
