Vivid Imagination

Ella is full of creativity and imaginary ideas these days! She has such an articulate vocabulary for 3 and often speaks like a little adult.   Some favorite words are evaporate, coordinate and bladder and she fully understands their meanings.

Then there is the imaginative side. She is  definitely in a phase where she likes to embellish details or shift around a fact or two.

For example, tonight's conversation went like this:

Mom:  I am going to tell you a happy story
Ella:  You are? Grammy only tells me spooky stories.
Mom:  Like what?
Ella: like about the spooky man who bit her!
Mom: I don't know if I believe that. I don't think Grammy tells spooky stories.
Ella: She does! I told her, Grammy that is a bad story don't tell me spooky stories, but she says she will tell me spooky stories!
Mom: I laugh and say Grammy doesn't do that.
Ella: Hahaha (laughing) too.  Mommy, are you laughing because it is funny that Grammy tells spooky stories or because you think it is not true.
Mom: I don't think she tells spooky stories and I think it is funny too!
