Elle videos

Life has been bananas lately, so please forgive my lack of regular posting. I've got some posts in the works, just need to find time and energy to finish them. But because she cracks me up on a regular basis, I wanted to share a few recent Elle videos for your viewing pleasure :)

Elle was a (hyper) pirate for Halloween. We attended some fall festivals the weekend before Halloween, but at the last minute, I decided we'd check out a trunk-or-treat near us on the actual day. Since she was dressed up, we also decided to go visit Daddy at work. Elle wasn't very cooperative, but I did manage to catch her signature line on video:

Elle loves looking at old birthday and holiday cards (hers or ours). She got a few Halloween cards in the mail and was "reading" them to me. It was really cute to hear her tell me who had signed each card (she's mixed up several sides of the family and friends, haha).

We got "The Very Busy Spider" from the library a few weeks ago, and Elle picked up on it quick. I was surprised that she got 85% of the animals, verbs and actions correct as she was "reading" this to me (i.e. the cat cries "meow" and asks about taking a nap, the goat says "mah" and wants to climb on the rocks). Sometimes I listen to her and just shake my head in awe.
