The Name Game

Ella has her own unique pronunciation for the names of some family members and friends. I wonder if she’ll eventually adopt the real names or if she’ll always call her Gramma “FaFa” -- like all the cousins called our Grandma “Bammi”… because my brother couldn’t say Grandma. I guess that’s one of the many perks of being the first Grandkid. You get all the attention and the naming rights.

Ella = I-ya
Grammy = Ma-my
Gramma = FaFa
Ian = E-nin
Tia Maria = Tia
Cam = Pam
Dorothy = DeeThee
Charlie = KaKa

We spent Saturday at a Chili Cook-off with our friend Ellie, her sister Katie and her sister's boyfriend Ian. I hope Ella wasn't too confused ...

Other Ella-isms (Words that I know she knows, but choses not to use):
Down = Nuck
Star = Up above the
Starfish = Up-above-the-fish
Water = Agua
Thank you = Boo poo
