Airplanes and Names

Why is it on the day we are flying Dolly decides she is going to call me by my real name and not Mama.  Every where we went at the airport and on the plane Dolly was shouting my name.

While I wouldn’t normally mind, it certainly didn’t help me while entering passport control.

Of course in true toddler style Dolly has now reverted to calling me Mama.  Thanks Dolly!!

Animal Names

Dolly has decided to call our neighbours dogs “Sandwich” and “Hello” even though that is not their real names.  This in turn means we also have to call them “Sandwich” and “hello” which can be slightly embarrassing when calling on them especially as we don’t know our neighbour very well.  He must think we are completely mad !!

Even more cringe worthy, we already have to call or shout for a dog at a local restaurant who Dolly has named “Lion”. This is definitely not its name and especially not a name I tend to associate with a Chihuahua.
