New word

Isabela has learned a new word, and it is not Mommy! She can now way Voh, which in portuguese means Grandma. She goes around my mom's house yelling for her. It is so cute...
Yesterday I was watching the Mom show on FX (here in Brazil), and they were talking about toddlers and their "favorite blankets, or stuffed animals", how all kids around 12 months get attached to some sort of blankie or doll and they can't let go of it. They drag it with them everywhere they go, and they sleep with them. And then one of the moms commented that her child never had one, and the therapist (yes, an actual psych) said that those kids that do not have this will later in life most likely have attachment issues.
You have got to be kidding me! that is so silly! Isabela is one of those kids, she has not really attached to any one toy or stuffed animal in particular. So that means she will likely not be able to be in a long term relationship and have attachement issues, oh please! the things people say.
Talking about toys though, I must mention this that has been on my mind for a while, a friend of ours (Nic :-) gave Isabela (it was acutally her son's b-day party's treat for everyone there!) a bus that has letters and sing songs. It is very cute, and actually very instructive. It teaches how to spell and how to play some songs. Well, Isabela loves that thing! She wants to carrie it with her, but it is kind of big! and the toy is LOUD! So, Jason and I sometimes hide it from her, but she always finds it! She loves that thing!
Have a good week everyone, gotta run to Pilates now.
