Last night the girls were being silly in the car on the ride home from Grandma and Grandpa's house. Bella asked "what's your name?" her sister answers "Claire". Bella says "what's your next name", meaning middle name, Claire instinctively says "Bear" then corrects herself and says "AnnElliese". Bella replied "no, Bear". They argued for a minute about it.
On the subjects of names...
whenever Bella prints her name on a school paper she points to it as if reading and says her whole name- first middle and last. I keep telling her that it just says Bella. Oh, well, we're working on it.
