Madeleine has obviously watched "Frozen" about a million times. Here, she enacts one of the scenes between Elsa and Anna, using the characters' dolls:
I especially like how Madeleine is able to improv and just barrel on ahead once she forgets the actual next line from the script. When in doubt, have the characters plant kisses all over each other!
Speaking of lines from movies, Madeleine's newest favorite expression obviously comes from one of the various movies or kids' shows she and Julia have watched. The expression of which I speak is: "What the...?" Sadly, the days of "What a heck?" have been replaced by "What the??", and Madeleine makes sure to use this phrase about a hundred times a day. Whether the situation actually merits it or not.
Some examples:
MADELEINE: (looking at her easel painting from school, which we had just brought home) What the...??
ME: Honey, that's your painting from school.
MADELEINE: (brightly) Oh! It is?
MADELEINE: (watching Ethan play Wii baseball) What the...??
ETHAN: I got a hit, honey.
MADELEINE: Daddy, I was like "what the" because it looked CRAZY!
MADELEINE: (closing an open cabinet) What the...?? Mama? The cabinet was OPEN so I closed it!
Basically, Madeleine inserts a good "what the??" into any conversation whenever she gets a chance. Which somewhat diminishes the effect of the phrase, seeing as it is usually intended to express sheer and utter shock over something insane/amazing/surprising. But, hey, maybe Madeleine sees the world as one big amazing surprise after another. It's a whole world of "What the"s when you're a 4-year-old, I guess!
