Danny has a Mr. Potato Head family and something funny happened when he first opened the box a few weeks ago; Mr. Potato Head was sporting a mustache and Danny associated that with dziadzia (his grandfather) and we thought it was pretty funny.
It just keeps getting better. Not only has Danny continued to call Mr. Potato Head "dada" but in the last couple days he has started to refer to Mrs. Potato Head as "baba", or babcia (his grandmother).
Apparently, my side of the family looks like potato heads! As funny as it is, the exciting thing is watching Danny improve his hand and finger mechanics playing with this toy. He understands the use of the different pieces and where they go, although not always having the strength to push the piece in. That's where, "Daddy, 'elp!" comes in and I give things a little nudge in the right direction.
Danny hit the nail on the head this last time with the toys. Dziadzia has his mustache and babcia has four arms. Babcia doesn't sit still for long so I thought it was pretty appropriate. :)
