President=Present in Max's world

During the inauguration coverage this morning on TV, I said to Max, "This is your new president!"

Max, as any two-year-old, does not know what a president is.  He figures it sounds close enough to one of his favorite words: present!!!!  So he pops his new baya (pacifier) out of his mouth, holds it up proudly and exclaims with wide eyes, "New present!"

I'm not sure who was more excited: me about our new president or Max about his new baya. Actually, Max's elation was definitely more apparent.  Sorry Obama.  I've never been overly expressive.
