Barack O'Boh-ohm

Caroline says new things every day, but some of them really surprise me. Yesterday we were enjoying the spring like weather and went for a walk. I put on a hat before we left and she said "Nice hat, Mommy."
Then this morning, she really got me. I had just turned on the today show and one of the first stories was on the primary elections. Barack Obama's face pops up on the tv. Before the newscasters can even get started telling the latest, Caroline points to the tv and says "Barack O'Boh-ohm?" It completely took me by surprise. (I think she thinks his name is Barack O'Bottom, because that's how she says bottom - kind of in a british sounding way - she swallows the t's).
With the primary elections tomorrow in Ohio, the political commercials are constant, so I guess that's where she picked it up. When we got home from swimming lessons this morning, we had our third Barack Obama door hanger of this week waiting for us and Caroline brought it in. I captured her saying his name on video.


On an unrelated note, Caroline went completely under water for the first time today at swim lessons and did great... we're making progress!
