Balloona
Olivia has always enjoyed finding the moon in the sky, day or night. This fun task, combined with her enjoyment of learning the occasional Spanish word for something familiar led her to ask a couple of weeks back, "What's her name?"
By this she meant "What's the moon called in Spanish?" Because of the show Dora, Olivia learned that blue is azul in Spanish... her favorite episode for months and months was about a little blue train named Azul.
So I told her that the moon's "name" in Spanish is la luna. No matter how clearly I enunciate it, though, Livvy points up to the sky with excitement every day to exclaim, "Balloona! It's Balloona!"
You say La Luna, I say Balloona.
