Memorial Day Weekend- Part 2
Kate learned how to do “thumbs up” and was SO proud of herself.
Kate is the first grand child on my side of the family, so when she was little my mom and dad had to decide what they wanted to be called. Mom decided on Gigi (her name is Gena) and my dad decided to go with Papa Rick. It took Kate FOREVER to say my mom’s name. Not sure why, because I wouldn’t think it would be that difficult, but she eventually got the hang of it. For my dad, she often called him just Papa and sometimes just Rick, but never really put them together. She’s just recently started stringing words together. However, this weekend she decided his name would be “Pick”. So that’s apparently what she is going to call him, at least for now. Even if you ask her to say “Papa Rick”, she’ll just look at you and say “Pick”. The first grand kid usually decides on the names themselves, right? 🙂 I’ll be interested to see how long this one stays around. She sure does love him though.
For a little fishing…
