Kara-OH-ke

Ava is picking up on more than we realize. There are the things that we want her to pick up on, such as how she says "Peez Mo" when she wants more milk. Then there are the things that we don't expect.

A while ago we were driving down the road and Fergie's song "Clumsy" came on. Ava was doing her typical drive-time routine of looking out the window at the passing scenery and maniac drivers. Every once in a while she'll catch a small dog that appears to be driving.

There's a part in the song where it goes:
You got me trippin oh, stumbling oh, flippin oh, fumbling oh
Clumsy cuz I'm fallin in love, in love
You got me slippin oh, tumbling oh, sinking oh, fumbling oh

Still looking out the window at things passing by, Ava started to sing the oh's. She was on cue every time! These oh's of the song aren't monotone, uninterested oh's either. They are the kind of oh's where you can tell that Fergie is really enjoying "the song". They're the kind of oh's that make you wonder how they justified putting that on the radio. Need I say more? Thankfully, Ava's oh's were the monotone, uninterested type. That's my girl.

Yesterday I was driving Ava to the babysitter's and Gwen Stefani's song "The Sweet Escape" came on. Can you guess which part of the song she sang along with? You betcha', it was the Whohoe, whihoo part. (I'm glad someone else figured out how to spell that because I would have slaughtered it on my own.) At least this song was less inappropriate for a two year-old.

"Oh be careful little ears what you hear."
