What's In A Name?

A conversation in the car

Me: What's your name?

William smiling shyly: Brudder.

Me, laughing: Your name is brother?

Will, smiling: Yeah. Brudder.

Owen, excitedly, in the background: My name Oh-Wen!

Me: What's your other name?

William: Owie.

Owen, more excited and more sure: My name Oh-Wen!

Me: That's right Owen. Good job! (Turning to William) Is your name William?

William, looking thoughtful: Owie.

Me, slightly concerned now: Yes, but is your special name William?

Long pause.

Owen, very proud: My name Oh-Wen!

William, smiling a little bit: Yeah. Wi-yam.

Me: Whewf! Good job guys.

Now repeat every other day and mix in some talk about ladders, trucks, airplanes. being "so hungy", being "so seepy", daddy at the office and you're practically in my car with me.

And finally some photos to make you smile:

Owen doing his best ET impression - or Darth somebody or other, I can't decide.
William fixing tables at playgroup. Handy, just like his dad. Although his toolbelt is upside down...Owen showing a book to Ga-ga on the computer.
