"Bubby" Watch 2010

Forget mid-term elections, there's something more interesting going on, and it's called, Bubby Watch 2010. What is Bubby Watch 2010?

According to Micro, it's buses, trucks, mac trucks, and bubbles. In his loosely defined world of words, Micro has a hard time pronouncing certain words (which is to be expected, given his age). Wherever he may be, whether he's in the car, walking around our neighborhood, or he's sitting in his high chair looking out the window to the streets below, Micro's got one thing on his mind, finding the elusive "Bubby." He can barely contain his excitement when he sees one approaching (and may I add, the kid's got great eyesight, he can spot those suckers from a mile away--sometimes just the tail end of it, amid other oversized vehicles). It's become a game while we're driving in the car. How many buses or trucks can we see? 

Mr. Fliz and I are torn whether to keep letting him call those vehicles "bubbies," or correct him. We settled on, agreeing with him when he sees a "bubby," and saying the appropriate name of the vehicle as we nod our head in agreement. Therefore, acknowledging and yet correcting at the same time. I call that, smart parenting ;)

Unfortunately, Micro also calls blowing bubbles, "bubbies." How to rectify that, well, I'm working on it. For now, I just enjoy hearing him expand his vocabulary and I'll always remind Micro when he's older about Bubby Watch 2010.
