Ah-sah
"Ah-sah" is "Aunt Sarah". Bobbin pretty much warmed up to her right away when she arrived on the 23rd. We've been talking about Aunt Sarah, and we have pictures of Aunt Sarah that we look at a lot so Bobbin knows who she is. But I swear that she also understood right away when my sister arrived that Aunt Sarah is family, and more specifically, is related to Mommy. When Sarah first walked in the house, Bobbin didn't cry like she usually does when people she doesn't know or doesn't see on a regular basis come over. Instead she hid behind my legs and peered out from between them smiling and giggling. She has NEVER done that before. Then she looked at me and she pointed to me and said "mama" and then pointed to Sarah and said "mama toh" which I think is her way of forming a possessive because she always uses it in that context.
Almost ever since though, Aunt Sarah has been "Ah-sah". Ah-sah is one of the very few people that Bobbin calls by "name". There's Mommy, Daddy, Ella, La-la (Alyssa her school friend), baby (her doll), meow (her kitty), moo (Millie Moo, her cow), Mo-mo (Elmo), and now Ah-sah.
Bobbin adores Ah-sah. She follows Ah-sah to the potty (although is puzzled as to why Ah-sah keeps the door closed when she's in there). She asks about where Ah-sah is. She shares her books, toys, and crayons with Ah-sah, and colours side by side with her. She even reads with Ah-sah, and plays hide-and-seek and giggles with her, and carries on whole conversations with her, gives her high-fives, lets her change Millie Moo's diaper, feed and hold baby, and play fisher-price "Little People" with her. It's been so much fun and just so incredibly cool to watch Bobbin interacting with my sister in this way!
