Anderson Speak

Anderson loves Dora. Every morning when he wakes up he says, "Wa-Wa Pack-Pack," which translates to "Watch Back-Pack." We usually have to distract him with breakfast so he doesn't throw a big fit about not getting to watch TV the second he comes downstairs. When he does watch Dora, he is totally entranced, which usually allows me to get a quick shower! Here is his Dora vocabulary. If you're not familiar with the characters from the show, I've included their real names and type of animal. It's very entertaining and cute to to wactch him read all of Ellie's Dora books, too.

"Pack-Pack" - Dora (She carries a purple backpack, so that's what Anderson calls her.)
"Boop" - Boots - monkey
"Coo-coo" - Tico - squirrel
"Pap" - Map (a talking map from Dora's backpack)
"Blah" - Isa - Iguanna (He won't even attemp to say this name correctly!)
"Doh-doh" - Diego - Dora's animal rescuer cousin

Now Paige was a huge Dora fan and my real questions is... Is it doodoo (like the bird) or doo doo (like, well, um.. poo)?

I have some Dora stuff she doesn't play with if you want it. Its the purple backpack (that talks) with some accessories (map, compass, and video camera)

Thanks for the translations. Will come in handy at the next Dora viewing. I thought "Wa-Wa" was Dora. Oh well, the important thing is when Anderson says "Pack-Pack" Grandma starts the DVD and all is right with the world for at least the next 15 minutes!

. . . like the bird, or female deer! My cousin, Blake, already beat you to the offer on the Dora stuff. We have the lovely talking and singing "Pack-pack." Thanks for thinking of him, though.
