Oh-Bots

Django has embraced our family's robot-fan culture with his own appreciation of mechanical men.  I especially love it when he identifies things that he believes look like robots around town, such as fire hydrants, emergency call boxes, and artificial moonlight towers.  It took some convincing, but now he agrees that R2D2 is also a robot, as are other round robots.  Previously, he thought that only boxy automatons--like those portrayed in his robot quilt--fit the taxon.  He pronounces robot as "oh-bot" much to my delight.

Here is a video attempting to document this cuteness:


That video is lame because Django was more interested in the camera than in recreating and documenting for posterity our fun game of chasing the robot and then yelling "oh-bot."  Was it Schrödinger or Heisenberg who developed the idea that observing the phenomenon changed the phenomenon?  I can't remember, but I will add a corollary to that rule stating that it is quadruply so with pre-schoolers. 

Here is an out-take video (one of six!):
