I call her lots of different names, --made up names because that's what we do in my family. We make up names for everyone and this confuses Seb so much that he just shakes his head and says "agh, Americans, why can't you just call someone by their name!"
The French call her "shar-lote" and when I call her "shar-lette" they ask me if this is the American version of the French name Charlotte. I guess it is. I just can't get used to manipulating that O in the French version because in my head the American Charlotte pronunciation is embedded. I suppose I will have to start to lean towards pronouncing it more in the French way one day because it will horrify her if her mother calls out to her in front of her French friends and says it you know, differently.
In one short month my little Nan (short for Nanette --her most used nickname to date) turns one! I'm going to post a photo a day until the big day and I'm going to bore you with stories about her but you can just humor me because I really want to do this for me and for her so that she will realize that she was once little and funny and very special.
So yes this photos was from yesterday of her taking a sort of crazy bath with her brother in a bucket of all things. You see she likes being next to him for baths but his little baby tub is too small for both of them so this is our method to let them at least be together for bathtime. As you can see there is a lot of giggling, lots of screaming (me) and lots of water on the floor at the end.

Arwen I was just thinking of you today...weird. I'd love to see your big boy and see how much he's grown.
Adorable. Make sure you print this out and save it in an album.
