For the first time, I took Holden to the store to buy himself a toy with the money he had saved in his piggy bank. He chose an 'Island of Sodor' mega blocks kit that he had been begging for and we brought it home. For two days he kept calling the little helicopter "Arrow." When it's actual name is Harold.
We kept correcting him.
"No, it's Harold. HHHHarold." We tried to correct him.
He would look at us and say brightly,
"Arrowd!"
He is pretty great at language for his age so I was stumped as to why he wouldn't say it right.
And then I realized that on the movie(s) of Thomas the train, the voice over is in a British accent.
So Holden is thinking we are crazy for calling the helicopter Harold when his actual name is pronounced
Arrowd!
