Our names have been changed, but we still remain the same.

For the past few days Shawn has decided that Jon and I are no longer "Daddy & Mommy"... we are now "Jon & Ashley."

Jon was upstairs getting ready and I was out in the kitchen and I hear Shawn pitter pattering around (obviously looking for us.) All of a sudden he yells "Don! Ashy!" Then he goes to the door to the upstairs "Dooooon!" And then to the gate at the kitchen... "Aaassshhhyyyy!" I kindly reminded him we are Daddy and Mommy.

Then at dinner time Jon and I were discussing the events of the day and Shawn started whining for something he wasn't allowed to have. I told him "just a minute, Mommy is talking to Daddy." So he looks at me and says "Ashy Ashy!" And once again, we kindly reminded him that I am Mommy, and Jon is Daddy.

I can see why now after all these years my grandmother refers to my grandfather as "Dad." My own mother pulled this trick as a little one and Nan just got into the habit of calling her husband "Dad." Oh the things kids say ;)

(and a few pictures of the kiddos from today... its a shame I can't put my camera down for a day, huh?)
