skinny

We've been working with D on spelling her last name (it's a long one - quite a feat for a 5 year old) but only every once in a while. Once again, her fantastic kindergarten teacher has succeeded in about 3 days. Last night D proudly spelled her last name for us. Trey asked her how she learned it and I did know and explained that Mrs. H had recently changed their desk tags to list both first and last name. D piped up and said "Yes, and now we have to write both names on our papers. But Adriana and I have to write in really skinny letters to get all of our name on our paper." We both laughed. Trey told her that he had to learn to write skinny letters for his name in kindergarten too.

When we first got married I remember how I wrote out my new name all pretty. You could see all of the letters; now it is pretty much A-- UO----.

We're not progressing much on Baby O2's name. We still like Dixie and Samantha is in the running too. Now THAT would be a really long name . . . same # of letters but one more syllable. Plus Samantha was #10 in popularity in 2006. sigh . . .
