A rose by any other name...


I thought it would be helpful to introduce you to my family just a bit before blogging all about them! Because I will be posting a lot of pictures of the kiddos, I will use nicknames for each of them. I just didn’t like the idea of their photos and real names being on the blog. 

So here is a quick introduction to my four little sweeties!

 First is Rapunzel. She is my oldest and is five years old.  We are homeschooling her in kindergarten this year.  The nickname needs no other explanation other than the girls is obsessed with anything from the movie Tangled!
 

 Next comes, Monkey-Do.  She will be four in October and we are homeschooling her in preschool this year.  Monkey-Do got her nickname from her grandpa after watching her copy everything her older sister did and telling her “Monkey see, monkey do”.  She loved repeating the “monkey do” part back to him and the name stuck!

 


My third little princess is Nomo.  She is two years old and living up every bit of the terrible… I mean “terrific” twos!  Her nickname is actually the name of her stuffed monkey that we gave her after she broke her arm, but it is also very fitting for her. She was jumping on the bed with her sisters and fell off.  We read "Five Little Monkeys" many times after that and Nomo stands for the "no more" part of "no more monkeys jumping in the bed!"

 

 Last, but not least comes the man of the house, Guy-Guy.  He is ten months old and received his nickname from Monkey-Do when he was only a few weeks old.  With three older sisters, he is spoiled rotten and already knows how to get whatever he wants!



 So there you have it; all of mommies little monsters.  Cute monsters though, aren’t they?!?
