Lady Man-Man

Several months ago, Cason first learned the word "man" at the doctors office... There were several posters with babies, kids and adults. He kept pointing to everyone calling them babies. I tried teaching him "boy" and "man". He didn't really catch on until we started playing with his Lego man, and called him a "Man-Man".

The man-man was his favorite toy for a while... There was also a female Lego person that he called man-man. I decided to teach him that she was a "Lady". It finally caught on and he started sometimes recognizing people as Man-Man or Lady.

We never specifically pointed out differences between a man and a women, I guess he was just observant and noticed his Lego Lady had a pony tail and the Man-Man did not.

Earlier this week we were watching basketball (go figure) and the bulls were playing. All the sudden Cason started yelling "LADY, LADY". We were confused until we looked up and saw this...

That is Joakim Noah from the Chicago Bulls.  The rest of the night, Cason would say "Lady" or "Lady Man-Man" whenever he was on the screen and if he wasn't playing, Cason would say "Where Lady go?" I guess I have to teach him that Man-Man's can have ponytails too!
