"Bally"

This afternoon Elise and I were playing with many different toys. I find that as her vocabulary grows, it is sometimes hard to figure out what she means by the different sounds/words she's saying. This afternoon she started moving around slowly and saying what sounded like a cross between belly and bally, more like "bally". She kept saying it, and doing slow moves and spins. Then I figured it out. "Ballet?" I asked. "Ballet," she replied with a big smile. She was doing ballet. She has been doing ballet for the rest of the day. I have no idea where she saw this, but I suspect it was another Sesame Street. We are still stuck on the word 'sigh' since it was the "Word on the Street" a few weeks ago. She started saying it and sighing really loudly after naptime one day. She is still doing it at odd times. It usually makes me laugh, along with the ballet routine, unless of course it is bedtime and she is doing "bally" all over my pillow, like she is right now!!! What a girl!
