Naomi has fully grasped the idea of pretending to be someone else. She hasn't fully grasped the idea that sometimes her parents forget that she's Hello Dolly and will (horror of horrors!) call her Naomi or Mimi. Hannah dealt with this at her age by saying that whoever she was being, Hannah was her nickname. We've tried to suggest this to Naomi, but she hasn't fully embraced this idea and still feels the need to correct us if we forget.
She's also decided that Michael is Horace Vandergelder. She calls him "Horace" all the time. It's hilarious. Of course, she also corrects me when I say to Sim, "There's Daddy!" Naomi: "That's not Daddy, that's Horace Vandergelder."
Luckily Sim doesn't get it yet or he'd be hopelessly confused. For now, only the rest of us are.
