Eleanor DO IT" when she; ahem, clearly doesn't need/want our help and can do it on her own thankyouverymuch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-call-himherself#post-1799565 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 14:13:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1799565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: haah that's pretty funny!</p> <p>LO calls her teacher Miss Lisa, Elsa.

Dallas calls Theo "Eee-o" and Theo calls Dallas "Dalla" or "Da-ta."</p> <p>If Dallas is looking for Theo or calling out for him, he'll stretch it out and go "Eeeeee-oooooooooooo." The cutest thing EVER. He'll also occasionally shorten it and just say "Yo!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-call-himherself#post-1799320 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 12:48:05 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1799320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are adorable!</p> <p>He'll call himself by his first name, but it sounds as if he's putting an exclamation point at the end of it.
