Are kids smarter than they used to be or have they always been amazingly smart little creatures who just didn't have the input that today's youngsters have access to?
For a while now, Bianca has been talking about Odette. She called one of her dolls Odette and then one day came in announcing "I'm Odette". I had no idea where this had come from. When I dropped her off at home the other day and handed her to the arms of her daddy , she greeted him with a warm "Hi Derek" (his name is Matthew,for those who don't know). She calls you Derek, I asked bemused and quite a bit curious.
So it turns out, Bianca is a big fan of this animated film based on the ballet Swan Lake. She is the Swan princess 'Odette' and her dad is her Prince Derek. I read the Wikipedia synopsis and the film has everything... hope and disappointment, evil spells and finally true love. Seems a bit heavy for a 2 year old. But not a bit evidently. Erika has been teaching Bianca some ballet exercises which she evidently loves and she has been a fan of Angelina Ballerina for a 'long time'.

Too cute! Rachael was a dancer at that age too. Her favorite music was Wee Sing Bible Songs. She called them Bobble Hongs.
