Max has decided that all cool babies know what the bear says.... in fact, all cool things say what the bear says. He flips through his books looking for anything that remotely resembles a bear and then loudly proclaims RAWR!!! Thus, the grizzly bear, the polar bear, the panda bear, the kola bear and the teddy bear all say RAWR!!!

Trivia: Based on this article, what does Max think the bird says?
(Note: You cannot use his mouth as a clue as he is actually
saying bird in this picture.) |
Grandpa Gutoski is largely to blame for all of this. He started the bear obsession. Max loved to have him read an animal book and name all the animals. When he got to the page with the bear grandpa would say "The big bear RAWR!!!" in a gruff voice that Max loved. Max was so delighted that grandpa proceeded to attach RAWR to every animal in the book ("And the dolphin says...RAWR!). Now the bunny rawrs, the lizard rawrs and the duck rawrs. To Max's delight, the dump truck also rawrs and you can kind of make the dog rawr.
Fortunately, I am his mother and thus he has learned a certain amount of respect for the chimpanzee. It says "Whoo whoo whoo ah ah ah".
Disclaimer: I do not really believe in accuracy getting in the way of a good story, but since this blog to act as a sort of baby book for Max, I feel compelled to report that he also correctly knows the sounds of the fish, sheep, cow, owl (although he thinks owl is representative of all birds) and cat.
uh oh - max is now smarter than i am! what is the correct sound for a fish??
