"o dhot" ?

Now that I have meant to be a more regular writer here's the weekend incident. After an early dinner at "falafal drive-in" we decided to stroll a bit before heading home, especially booboo and her car sickness. Don't know if it is claustrophobia or motion sickness as of now, but has been quite a chore to disassemble the car-seat, wash and reassemble and fix it back. 

Booboo is pretty inquisitive and points to pretty much everything she sees around and and asks "o dhot?" meaning "what's that?" . She points to either something that she does not know about or things that she knows and cannot recollect what's it called. Things that she does not know about after one has replied to her "o dhot" she repeats and says "aaa.."

She could not memorize the name "tombo" - kiki's friend one of the Japanese DVD she watches regularly and would point to the DVD cover and ask "o dhot" ?  When replied "tombo" she is extremly delighted to recollect. After a couple of iterations now she knows and points and says "tombo" with a big smile, almost expecting to be applauded!!

On our stroll, while she was on papa's shoulders all high and happy, she pointed to the building across with a giant lettered name and asked "o dhot" to papa.  Papa responded as tree or light but she kept asking "o dhot"? Then papa said oh! that "AMC Automobile and Co", she replied immediately and said "no, its ABC" !!

She recognizes letters and any letter for her is "ABC", wow! u dont need to be a grown up to trick papa!

Booboo megalomania

Now that my little one knows she's an entity by herself,  she is most keen to introduce herself to strangers, she says "imm booboo" and refers to her belongings as this is "boo's blim bla", it is "boo turn", "boo's (s)poon" etc........  

Recently when I was back home after work, the first thing she asked me was "where's boo papa?" I was stunned and this continued when we saw a grandpa feeding an infant at ikea, she asked me "where's boo dada"? now she pretty much refer's to everything as  hers! she is the center of the universe and everyone/everything belong's to her.
