Luigi Oli Uli Sir Toppam Hatt

Oli is now 3 1/3 years old and his obsession with the Thomas trains continues.  He is addicted to watching an episode every morning with his Papi and likes to dress up as the owner of the trains, Sir Toppam Hatt (who wears a suit and top hat).  He also played a Luigi game at Target once.  Luigi wears green overalls, and since Oli's favorite color is green, he wants to be Luigi too.  Also, he's seen us carrying Eli in the Baby Bjorn a couple of times, so he likes having a chest pocket in his overalls to carry his baby trains around.  All of this combines into Luigi Oli Uli Sir Toppam Hatt:

Top hat, blazer and sunglasses, check, check, check!

I'd wear overalls every day if I could!

Occasionally, I get to be Mami Mario because I like red.

Oli's training as a gourmand continues.  We tried a new restaurant nearby last night and the following conversation ensued:

Oli:  "Me dieron papaya y queso mozzarella!  Con albahaca."  [They gave me papaya and mozzarella cheese!  With basil.]

Mami:  "Si.  Y sabes que es esa salsa oscura?"  [Yes.  And do you know what that dark sauce is?]

Oli:  "M-hmm."

That usually means he doesn't know.

Mami:  "Eso es vinagre balsamico."  [That's balsamic vinegar.]

Oli:  "Ah.  Yo pense que era aceite de oliva."  [Ah.  I thought it was olive oil.]
