CLAPPING!

we were playing with ella, admiring how she puts a ball through a hole, and encouraging her by saying "yayy!" and clapping every time she put the ball in the hole.

then suddenly she put her two hands together... and she put her two hands together again... and before we knew it she was clapping with us!
WOW!!

that was the fastest i've ever seen her to learn a new skill.

after repeating that for a few minutes (ella takes ball -- puts ball in the hole -- we say yayy and clap -- ella claps with us) we remembered to turn the camera on. i'm so excited!

That's hilarious! It's so obvious that she associates the clapping with the successful release of the ball through the hole! She just looks at you when you try to get her to clap for nothing. Smart girl!

Peter says, "Ella would like a blue ball?" I think he wants to go to your house to play, and he'll bring you his blue ball. :)
