Most everyone who may read this blog already knows...I have a new name-courtesy of Callie. I am now Callie's GaGa! After all this time wondering and worrying and trying to find a grandmotherly name, Callie DID come up with one of her own. Ruth said she would. Since Callie's birth, everyone has referred to me as Grandma. Grandma is a perfectly good grandmother name, but I wanted something different--after all, this is a name Callie will use for me here on out, and maybe even a few more grandchildren in the future.
Grandparent names have always interested me. I was the first grandchild on my Mother's side of the family. Once after I had become verbal, the whole family tried to get me to say her name (Faye). I blurted out "Pete" and everyone laughed. Pete was Pete for five grandkids forever. I have a friend who is "Gus" to her older grandchildren--that's cute. I don't know the story of origin, though.
I love it that Callie said GaGa on her own---of course that was her verbalization of "Grandma"--I know that. Right now, she says "caca" for cookie. I hope she learns to say cookie at some point! After all, we live in Texas, and everyone here knows what caca really means.
So.......I am thrilled beyond measure. That sweet baby has given this whole family such joy.
Later,
GaGa

Everytime she says GaGa, I give her a caca! Not really, but I thought that was funny!!
