Wats dat???

In his delicate age of 2, Niels has mastered to identify flawlessly at least 20 vehicles from air, sea and land (e.g. auto, truck/vrachtwagen, van, motor/brommer, train, bike/fiets, bus, step, kruiwagen, politieauto, brandweerauto, balloon, jeep, tank, tractor, airplane/vliegtuig and boat/boot) including dutch and english versions of some. 

He has memorized in his little head at least 50 children songs that we know of (and that including Happy Birthday in english and dutch).

He can sing the complete english alphabet on his own and can count 1 till 10 in dutch although sometimes reversing the 5 and the 6.

Identifying colors are no problem as well.  From red, orange, yellow, green, light and dark blue, brown to pink not forgetting its dutch version!

Its amazing how he keeps them all in his young mind.

With such interest in everything, since 2 weeks ago, he has bombarded us with the question "Wat's dat?"  To anything he sees on TV, at home, outside...whether he knows that answer or not, his question is "Wat's dat?"

If he knows the answer and Nico tries to give him the wrong one, he will continue asking until Nico says the correct word.  But if honestly he doesnt know what it is, he believes us and says "Yeah".

Also since monday he has learned something new...when we ask "Who has baby?"  He points to my tummy and sayd "Mama baby!"  He can also say "broertje" of "zusje".

So I ask you then for the picture below...WAT'S DAT?
