Ba!

Yesterday, my mom was over and B kept taking her to the coat closet and saying, “Ba! Ba! Ba!”  She was like, “I don’t see any balls in here…”  

“Oh no,” I said, “Ba is his name for the vacuum cleaner.”  So we got Ba out and played with him for a bit (my kid is not like other babies, I feel) and then put him back.  

“I thought he was saying ball,” said my mom.  

“No,” I said, “His word for ball sounds more like boh than Ba.”  I know my kid’s “words” right down to the subtle vowel sounds, how lol is that.
