We’re at the stage of toddlerdom (hey, it’s on Wiktionary!) where every new thing/word is repeated somewhere between 10 to 50 million times a day. One of those things is “plane” or “jet” every time she hears one flying overhead.
Oh, I should mention we live between two airports, one being the extremely busy DFW Airport. In other words, there’s a lot of planes that fly over us. We rarely noticed the flying vessels until now, since Avery calls out their presence upon each passing. We’re proud of our girl for everything she’s learning, obviously, but the repeated words can take a toll sometimes. First world problems, I know.
We encourage Avery with supportive words when she acknowledges a color, sound, object, etc, so now we have her waving to the planes as they fly by.
I’m not sure if she understands that she’s waving to people (like we told her), or just the actual jet and/or plane, but it’s cute nonetheless. Speaking of, we also try to explain the difference between jet and plane since she’s been using both words.
Essentially, all jets are planes, but not all planes are jets. The propeller driven planes and in a different category. All of this just goes over her head (ha ha, puntastic!), but I know she’ll eventually catch on.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Do you have a lot planes fly near your home?
Are there things you never or hardly noticed that your kid constantly discovers around your home now?
She’s so cute, I remember the repeating stage. It’ll be the questions soon and why??
Thank you for linking up
Oh geez, that will be a fun stage! Thanks for hosting, I missed taking part in these!
Fabulous post. my girls love watching the planes go over. Only my oldest has actually been on a plane. #MySundayPhoto. 🙂
Thank you! Avery has only flown twice, but she knows she’s been on one of those flying way up high. 🙂
My 3yo boy loves planes, it started very young and has never stopped, he still shouts “plane” when he sees one, though at three he can say words like propeller and fighter jets, concorde etc so it has all gotten quite technical thanks to my plane loving hubby.
She is super cute by the way.

Thanks for visiting and for the kind words. I need to learn a few things about planes to better explain them as she enters the “why” phase!
Haha! I have to learn which ones jets and planes! We love waving on planes too no matter how far it is. We always wish with it that one day we are riding it going home. #mysundayphoto
Thank you, Merlinda, waving is always a good option! 🙂
Too cute! The husband flies helicopters so whenever Gabi sees/hears one she’ll look up and say ‘dada’ and randomly wave in the air. She tends to ignore the planes…for now. 😉
That’s really cool your husband flies helicopters. Has Gabi got to go for a flight with Dada yet?
