"Not Joan"
During October, Leyna stayed several days with Eric's parents, Grandma Joan and Grandpa Larry. After some time with them, she was passed onto my parents, Grandma Teri and Grandpa Boulter. The funniest thing was that no matter how hard my mom tried, she couldn't get Leyna to call her grandma. Instead, when asked what her name was, Leyna would say, "Not Joan." Well, a few weeks later, our whole family went out to AZ for a trip. Even then, Leyna hadn't forgotten the name game. For the whole trip, she continued to call mom, "Not Joan." Technically, she's right, but how funny that a 2 year old would discern the two grandmas in such a way. We thought it was hilarious!

Too Cool for Kisses?
Well, it took until 2nd grade, but Kaden finally admitted that he doesn't want to kiss me goodbye at school in front of his friends. It's too embarrassing. He didn't want to hurt my feelings, either, so he told me he would kiss me two times at home to make up for it. I can handle that; sounds like a good compromise to me.
It reminded me of when I was in about the 3rd grade when I was distraught over how to tell my mom that I didn't want to call her "mommy" anymore. I thought I was too grown up and should just refer to her as "mom." Funny what little kids think and worry about, huh?
