#1: Write a Letter to Santa

Beatrice's dictated letter to Santa*:

Dear Santa,

I want to bring you a letter. What's your name? My name is Beatrice.  Imagine Dr. Panda at the beach: waves, boats, water, sand, the letter E. I would like a red scooter please, just like this [red] pen.  I want to name you Star. Happy Birthday! Grandpa doesn't know that he likes eating apples and he doesn't, they are often too squishy.  I like your red clothing, it's beautiful.  Rudolph, I want to give you cake.  I like your scarf, it's beautiful.  How is your wife? I am married to Donovan.  Arthur would like a tree for Christmas.  I would like a scooter, and a small noisemaker in addition.  I don't know, but I think your coat is not beautiful, it's just red, it's not rainbow.  Happy Vet animals have four problems ...

[This is where I cut her off and told her she had to finish up]

Merry Christmas! Goodbye
Beatrice

Here is last year's letter by comparison.  Her vocabulary has increased but her discursive style has stayed pretty much the same.

*Abridged, because she was talking too much and too fast for me to get it all down.
