Alphabet Pal

Elliot's christmas gift from his uncle Mike (famous movie light technician and future hollywood big time director - also Andrea's cousin) has been extremely popular recently.
Elliot all of a sudden started saying "pee" one evening which he sometimes does now when he has pooped or sometimes that is all that comes out when he wants to say the name of his favourite CBC personality. So Andrea and I played the game of guessing words he might be trying to say. He kept letting us know that our guesses were wrong. Then Andrea helped him find his Alphabet Pal, which is a catepillar with the letters of the alphabet on all of her feet. They turned the Alphabet Pal on and Elliot pressed the "p" foot and then repeated the letter. Then he started to press the letters following "p" and kept repeating the letters as they were being sounded out by the Alphabet Pal. "q", "r", "s" and so on.
He is also learning to recognize letters of the alphabet off of the wooden blocks he got from his Grandma and Grandpa Ashton in Saskatoon for Christmas.
He hasn't said his own name yet but has said names of friends of his, Tate, Annika, Seth, Joshua, Chloe for example.
At one of the last music classes he was attending at his friend's house, he said "Annika dance".
