Stella's Progression in Writing & Drawing

Stella has started writing letters of the alphabet and numbers all by herself lately . We have seen her write the following letters and numbers but we think she can write others as well: a, b, c, d, e, f, h, i , l, s, t, 1, 2, 3. If she thinks for whatever reason she can't write a letter or number perfectly, then she won't, no matter how much we ask and encourage her to...she is a little perfectionist at heart like her Mama.

She has also been putting letters together and writing actual words all by herself (she doesn't even ask us how to spell these words):

Lately, she is also been really into eyelashes and drawing them on the faces she draws. When she is watching a cartoon or reading a book, she will point out all of the girl characters based on if they have eyelashes or not. And she doesn't understand why some girls (i.e. Dora) don't have eyelashes. In Stella's mind, if you are a girl, then you must have eyelashes =:) Too funny!
