I have been teaching Moira her parents names in case of an emergency. Initially it was pretty rough going: "Damn Jay Bowers". But now she has Adam's name down: Adam Jay Bowers. My name has proved a little more difficult. Every time I ask her my name Moira says:
"Wendy Bowers Awesome."
No joke.
When she was learning and would say my name right I would respond with an enthusiastic "Awesome". Somehow she must have thought that I was correcting her rather than cheering her on. But since the name seems very appropriate to me (what mother wouldn't agree, I ask you!) I have allowed the name to stick!
Maybe by the time she starts school I'll fix it, until then I will enjoy my sweet toddler calling me awesome every time she says my name!
