Introducing Swellowee

Ella came up to me and said, "Can I shake your hand?" I shook her hand and she said, "It's nice to meet you Jana. I'm Swellowee." I have now spent the past several minutes having to call her Swellowee. Apparently, this is her new chosen name! LOL Let's hope it doesn't last long.

We've also achieved a new milestone. Ella introduced me to her doll. Up until today she has always called her baby. Today, her name became Molly. It's the first time Ella has named one of her toys. Of course the true irony is that it is one of her few toys that already HAD a name! It was my Cabbage Patch Doll from when I was a child. I named her Tamara, but I am happy to give over naming rights to Ella now.

Any idea where "Swellowee" came from? It's a very interesting name, I'm curious if she made it up or if she heard something and "swellowee" is her version of it? 2-year olds are just amazing in their conceptualization of things!
