Ellie had a brand new funny today. We were in the chiropractor's waiting room. Dr. Whitfield has a lovely bottled water dispenser, which Ellie loves (and we do our best to keep her away from). She had already drank two little cups when she decided to play with her third. She held the bottom lip of the cup in her teeth and tilted her head back, getting her face and shirt all wet while looking like a baby bird with a stubby beak. I told her that was that, no more water, she wasn't drinking it now, she was just playing in it. Marty was politely sipping his cup. Ellie tried to reach out and take his cup from him, but he shifted out of reach. Ellie made an odd sort of thoughtful face, then said, "Share with her... baby brother?"!!! Of course Marty instantly melted and gave her his cup. This was a totally new sentence, totally new words! She's never called him "baby brother" before, or asked to share! Yay, Ellie!
