Recently, Ella has really gotten into singing and we think it's definitely reflective of the fact that her confidence in her vocabulary is increasing. Her confidence started when she began "reading" books out loud, especially to Caroline. She might say the first sentence coherently and then the rest of the page sounded like a bunch of vowels and consonants strung poorly together but reflecting the changes of pitch, etc. But now, while she continues the reading (which is also improving thanks to 1. her imagination and 2. her ability to memorize her favorite books), she's picked up singing to her repertoire. This morning, she was heard singing the entire "Twinkle Twinkle" song to Caroline and totally mimicking the way Erika sings it to Caroline, using the hand motions and all. And today at lunch (probably inspired from music class this morning), she sang the "entire" (ok, so she might have missed a couple letters in there!) ABC song. She's totally into letters these days and takes great pride in letter recognition!
During lunch today, instead of EATING her peanut butter and honey sandwich, she decided to give her herself a "tattoo" with the peanut butter. All during lunch, "look mommy! Ella has a tattoo! Almost dry! Look at my tattoo!" God willing she never gives herself a REAL tattoo up her arm!
So after we cleaned up her tattoos, she decided to draw the letter "E" on her arm...again in the peanut butter....which should have been on her sandwich....which she should have been eating. Needless to say, she was pretty proud of the "E" and so was mommy!
And, here's a video of Ella singing her ABCs!

YAY! I love it! So cute. And she has such a nice singing voice. You never know, could be the next American Idol. ;)
Wow 3 blogs in one month - you are making me look bad. Maybe Reagan and Ella could be a duo. Reagan loves to sing too!
