Another gear showed up last week. Ellie's language took a jump in range (like lots of new words) and complexity. She was using slang and inflection I haven't seen from her. We were having full exchanges of conversation. Talk about startling and funny. It's pretty hilarious to hear her thoughts...they sometimes are a flowing stream of conscientiousness. She just starts talking as if eveything that comes into her mind then flows out the mouth now that she has the words and capability.
The other thing that happened last week involved pink socks. We were getting ready for daycare/school on Tuesday which we do twice a week. I've always picked out most of her clothing. Sometimes I'll give her a choice between two shirts or two pants. But she's never shown a lick of care about what she wears. Until Tuesday. I put her in a pink top with jeans. I chose black socks since they hide more. After putting them on her little feet, she looked down and said "Not those momma. I need pink socks." (knowing that the black socks wouldn't match her top but the pink ones would) My eyebrows raised in astonishment and I happily complied.
