This morning I was reading this article from Baby Sideburns, and Nina saw a picture of the author and asked, "Is that you mommy?" It certainly could be, because this is my life.
Nina: (Pointing at her brown stuffed dog) What's his name?
Nina: (Pointing at her brown stuffed dog) What's his name?
Mommy: I don't know, what do you want to name him? (mistake #1)
Nina: How about Moosie?
Mommy: You already have a Moosie. How about Scruffy? He looks Scruffy.
Nina: No, because that is the dog on Charlie Brown.
Mommy: No, that is Snoopy. Do you want to name him Snoopy?
Nina: No, because Snoopy is black and white and this dog is brown.
Mommy: Ok then, how about Brownie? (mistake #2, suggesting a color name, because now she wants to name everything for its color)
Nina: No mom, because Brownies are something you eat, and you can't eat my doggy.
Mommy: Ok, then what do you want to name him? (mistake #1, repeated)
Nina: How about Teddy Bear?
Mommy: Sure, we can call him Teddy Bear since he looks a little like a teddy bear. (mistake #3, saying too much)
Nina: No mom, he isn't a bear.
Mommy: We can just call him Teddy then.
Nina: No. How about we call him Doggy?
Mommy: ...
Nina: Because he's a dog.
Mommy: Great. Doggy it is.
