What's in a name anyway
I'm loving that fact that I can now communicate with Quinn... we can have full on conversations... all though sometimes it feels like we're speaking some made up secret language.
a few weeks ago I tried to explain that my name was Sharon... I pointed to myself and said "I'm Sharon" he looks at me ... laughs and says "you mommy" I say "well yes, I am mommy but I am also Sharon" ... this did not go to well... he got very upset and said " NO you mommy.... you MOMMYYYYYYYYYYY " Ok OK I let that go.
A few days ago I thought I would explain his name to him... so he's not blindsided one day with the realization that his real name is not Quinn... so again I point to him and say "you're Gabriel" he giggles and says "I not Jabial, I Kinn"... "yes you are Quinn but you are Gabriel Quinn" ... now he's pissed.... "NOOOOOOOOOO... I KINN I KINN... NO JABIAL!" ... I say "ok baby you're Quinn"
after a few minutes had passed by he walks over to me... looks me square in the eye with a very concerned face and says "mommy, I'm Quinn"
It had not dawned on me that he thought I would forget his name... This poor kid now believes that I forgot who I was and who he was... Calling myself Sharon and him Gabriel... so now he wants to remind me... :) ...
all though he can't be too upset since a while later he says "mommy wheres Jabial" and cracks up laughing... I do believe that was a joke at me expense!

you silly
Your lucky he let you live. You gotta get your T1 lingo down. Quinn belongs to "The funtastic tre` bunch" at daycare. The tre` being Colin, Alex & Quinn. Gabriel is one of the twins. They run with "The Bugaboo's"
You keep tell'n him his first name is Gabriel he'll sit at the wrong lunch table.
Stop now before you start a war!!!!
I know there is a Gabriel at school and I know who Quinn's crew is... all though I'm not sure they're in toddler gangs... lol
He should still know his name, don't ya think?
Maybe he really thinks you were calling him Gabriel (from school) and maybe they mess up the names sometimes at school and he associated it - but wouldn't it be even funnier if he understands you completely and is just playing with you.... Hence the laughter at his own joke... HaHa - Let's mess with mommy's head today..... :~)
great now I'm out witted by a two year old! :)
He probably did think I was talking about Gabriel from school... all though I don't think they are in the same class... but I'm sure he hears the name...
and what's this about my grandson being in a 'gang' lordy lordy lordy!!!
