Two year old Ariana, my daughter, is a very big fan of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video. She's watched and watched and watched, studying the moves and the song so that now she can mimic some of those moves. Her rendition of the song itself, though, is simply, "Woh oh oh," and she repeats that snippet a few times while she dances around in a circle moving her hands (and sometimes attempting to sway her hips) like Beyonce.
It's adorable. But what I find hysterical is that she's taken to categorizing items in the world with a "Woh oh oh" label. It started with high heeled shoes: Wearing spiky-heeled boots, I once walked into the room where she played and Ariana gasped in awe and asked, "Mommy Woh oh oh shoes?" From that moment on, any high heels or exceptionally pretty flats, have been dubbed "Woh oh oh Shoes." Whenever she can get her hands on these shoes she steps into them and does her "Woh oh oh" dance. She's begun to include form-fitting clothes, like leggings, in her label, too: "Mommy Woh oh oh pants?"
"Yes, honey, Mommy Woh oh oh pants." I can't wait to take her shoe shopping with me!
