Ellen's Dialogue Life

Go figure that my little reader has a hard time pulling herself out of books and into the real world. I started to notice a couple of weeks ago that Ellen narrates her life in dialogue. I have caught her many, many times playing a game and narrating as she goes along. This has happened for years and lots of kids do that. But lately, she has taken it to a new level.

For instance:

Mom: "Ella, come here for a minute."
Ella: "Coming mom....she cried."

She adds narrative to the end of her words. It is really funny to hear.

Ellen: "Daddy...she shouted."

The narrative is always a little lower and more under her breath, but it is there. What a crack up!
