Abby came to me the day that Joshua's parents were going back to Poland and brought me a picture of her grandparents. She pointed to her grandma and asked "Who, dat?" So I said, "Mamaw". She then pointed to her Papaw and said, "Pap-pap" I was slightly amazed. We show her pictures of both sets of grandparents but I also realize in her 1 year old mind, they are just pictures and associating them with the voices she hears on the phone . . . you really never know how much your child is getting! Well, now every time she sees a picture of an old man, or a statue of an old man she says, "Papaw". So I took some pictures of the things around the house that she constantly points to and says, "Papaw". I do have to say, she becomes VERY excited when she sees a picture of her real papaw and immediately tells me who he is, but she also associates any old looking man with that . . . I really don't know what that means because I don't think her Papaw looks as old as the people she keeps pointing out . . . you'll see what I mean when you look at the pictures! I am also posting a picture of Abby and her Papaw, so you can see that he doesn't look THAT old!
Abby and her Papaw
This is a picture from a book about Moses that she brings to me, saying, "Mommy, Mommy, Papaw!"
This "Papaw" is found in the Dr. Seuss book,
Hop On Pop Unfortunately, it is not Mr. Brown, but the Mr. Black that she thinks is the Papaw.
This "Papaw" is another Noah. It is her bank.
