Goodnight Moon

I'm sure most of you who are parents know the book Goodnight Moon (probably by heart, as I do), but a funny thing happened last night/this morning and it had a lot to do with it...


For those of you who don't know the book, it's about a little bunny going to bed and throughout the book, we say goodnight to all the different things in the bunny's room.  One of them is "Goodnight to the old lady whispering hush" (imagine the  mommy bunny in a rocking chair).  Recently Maddy started pointing to the bunny, saying "mommy" and I thought it was really sweet although I'll admit I tried not to be offended that the book said "OLD lady."  Then last night I realized she was saying "BUNNY" only it just sounded like mommy.  (How did I know?  She added in "hop, hop" after it).  Once I figured that out, I tried to teach her the difference between the words mommy and bunny.
 
This morning as Maddy was eating her breakfast, she pointed to a picture of me on the wall and said "hop, hop."
