More vocabulary!

She says, "ding dong" for doorbells, but last week she just said "ding".

She says "Yelldow" or yellow where last week she didn't make an effort to repeat or notice color.

She calls an Ernie doll by name after only
to play with him today.

She is listening to conversations and trying to chime in, usually only adding sounds effects or agreeing, but she is totally engaged in conversation.

Tonight she sang in her room in a loud voice for a full 90 minutes. It was more humming than words, but I think it was Christmas carols to her Christmas lights.

This photo is from this week when Elsa woke from a nap early and joined me in exercise. She tried most of the steps and then put a salad spinner bowl on her head for a hat and laughed hysterically. She also threw her beloved poms around the room and chased her shadow.

Beloved Cars PJs

Elsa has a pair of pjs she doesn't want to take off.
They are Disney cars movie ones that Daniel outgrew, and she considers them her favorite clothes and wants them after bath each night and we have to wrestle them off her in mornings.
She says BRRoooooom! And squeals when she sees them.

Tonight I ordered her some more cars pjs so she and I will have less disagreements each bedtime. I think they will take the place of Christmas Jammies for her this year!
