Marty has been pretending to be a cat tonight, "Angry Kitten," his alter-ego who can hiss his disapproval without getting in trouble for being disrespectful. Angry kitten was hissing about bedtime.
When I went across the hall to tuck Ellie in, she smiled at me, stretched, and made a lazy, drawn out "Mrrrowww." She was a cat! She was pretending! She wasn't copying - Marty was hissing and growling, not meowing. She was pretend-playing!
Also, I asked her if she wanted "Mommy stay, or Mommy out?" She answered, "Mommy in here." She didn't echo! She used independent words from her own personal vocabulary!
So awesome!
