It's a Jolly Holiday with Ellen (and The Bairn)

Our Christmas festivities began two weeks ago, because Canada doesn't have any holidays after November 11 to prevent Christmas creep.  We took the kids to the Santa Claus parade in town.  This year I knew to bundle them in snowsuits AND to bring a thermos of hot chocolate.  They sat together in the double stroller and The Bairn requested that I hold his hand while he watched the floats in awe. When the parade was over, he asked, "Where are those clowns and trucks going?  Let's follow those clowns and trucks!"

Ellen only has about five words and an additional five signs, but she still manages to be quite clear in her communication.  Here was her take on the parade (with a bit of padding by me):


Before the parade began:

Out [of this stroller]!
Out!
Out!
Out!


After the parade began:

More [delightful animals and dancing gingerbread folk]!
More!
More!
More!

One of key features of our Christmas Parade this year was Darth Vader.
