Today, all four of the members of our little family sat around the table munching on breakfast when out of the blue, Ella decided to play our dinner-time game. Basically, in this game, you single out each member of the family, individually, and say something you like about that person. Ella has never been particularly great at this game namely because of her lack of vocabulary. She'd say things like, "What I about Mommy is dat, I'm fankful."
But today, she just started up the game with no prompting...I think maybe since we were all around the table (which is rare at breakfast), she thought it appropriate to start up the game. So, here's how it went:
"What I ___ about (she always forgets to say "like") Mommy is dat she's weawy aways bootiful. What I ___ about Awi (Ari) is dat she's my fwend and she pways wif me. What I ____ about my daddy is dat he's my pal. What I ____ about Sally (our goldfish) is dat....uh....she's a fish!" And then in her high pitched voice, she pretended to answer for Sally, "Ganks you, Ella!" :)
Oh, how I love this kid!
