doll's names:

Last night we were reviewing all of the names of Ella's dolls: Claire, Lucy, Camille, Stella, Henry, Betty, Betty's Sister, Charlie....."Mom, don't forget about Johnson and Burrito!" (Burrito?!-what the, where does she get this stuff??-and who's Johnson??)

K is for Cat:

ella: Mom! K-K-K-Cat starts with kah, K!
mom: This is a tricky one, because sometimes the K and the C sound the same. But cat starts with C, not K. C is for Cara and C is for Cat. C-C-C-Cara and C-C-C-Cat.
ella: Oh Mom, you're all mixed up, you've got it all wrong. Cat starts with K not C.

alright whatever you say...

no dancing:

this morning as I was dancing to the intro theme song to Curious George (which is quite catchy by-the-way) ella told me in her crabbiest morning voice: "Mom! Stop! You're giving me a headache!"
