She's drawing parallels - "This one's same as..."

Han has been drawing quite a number of parallels in her speech. Her favorite and most consistent example is that of drawing parallels to colours. Examples:

1) "Same colour as Barney!" (whenever she sees an object that is purple)
2) "Same colour as Baby Bop!" (whenever she sees an object that is green)
3) "Same colour as BJ!" (whenever she sees an object that is yellow)

You must understand why she loves to use Barney characters as her references. If you do not, you can read an earlier post!

4) "Same colour as Tigger!"  (whenever she sees an object that is orange)
5) "Same colour aaaaaaaas .........." (whenever she sees an object's colour that she's trying to match a parallel to)

These few days, she has been using shapes to draw parallels too! Examples:

1) "This one's (a) square, same as (the) table!"
2) "This one's (a) circle, same as (the) cup!"
3) "This one's (a) triangle, same as (the) highchair!" (referring to the highchair tray)

Today, she took her kangaroo soft toy, came up to me and exclaimed, "This one's same as (a) rabbit!!" 

And so she proceeds to the next stage...
