Elle has been rather hilarious lately. Emotions have been strong, but with the tears have come lots of giggles, tons of songs and countless priceless moments. I realized I haven't taken many videos of her lately, and over the last week or so she gave me plenty of material :)
Elle sang this - just one verse - for approximately 20 minutes straight the other night. The next day, I found out that our commute home is approximately 32 of these long. I stopped counting as I tried desperately - with no success - to steer Elle toward another song.
She's stubborn. When she thinks she knows what something is, she will not be convinced otherwise.
She's a scary monster. She's a help-o-bot. She's also in a race. (Just watching this video exhausts me.)
She has been singing up a storm for months - many of the videos I've taken of her involve snippets of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Twinkle Twinkle." It never fails to bring a smile to my face. She's a big fan of mash ups. Her extensive vocabulary shines through in her singing, although there are a lot of these gems:
"Monkey Monkey sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the horses and mommies again, couldn't put Humpty together again."
She's adding some pop songs to her song list, too - I heard Flo-Rida's "Whistle" for the first time about a week ago in my Spin class. Since then, I have heard it an average of 2.6 times a day. Elle heard me singing it on Sunday afternoon, and by Sunday night, she had it down. We also reviewed her Usher lyrics with a strong "Oooooh Baby."
She pretty much cracks us up constantly, which isn't always a good thing. But I'm loving this musical stage and hope to capture more of it on videos that don't involve a mouthful of crackers or multiple demands to look at the camera while I'm video taping her. Girlfriend has a mean "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."
