Last year, Oct-Nov time frame, when Kayla was 2 to 3 mos old, we noticed that Abri would refer to Kayla as Fred. We were never quite certain just how she associated Kayla with Fred, but she persistently called her that. The only other name association she has with it is her Grandma and Grandpa H's dog Fred that she sees on her visits to their farm. Regardless of why she started calling Kayla Fred, she sure definitely enjoyed the attention that her use of the name garnered. One night at the dinner table Emma decided on her own to tackle the problem head on. Here is a transcript of the conversation:
E: "Abri, say Kay"
A: "Kay"
E: "say la"
A: "la"
E: "say Kayla"
A: "Fred", she replied with an innocent face, not even a grin.
How's that for an amateur comedian?
We're happy to say that she no longer calls her Fred, and Kayla unquestionably knows her name despite the confusion of earlier times.
