Tonight, Leland and I spent a while playing "What's your Gates?"
A number of months ago, she learned her full name is Leland Joy Gates. She loves to say it over and over again. It was only a few weeks until she started calling Lucy, Lucy Looba Gates. It was at that point, that I realized just how often I refer to daughter #2 as Lucy Looba. So, we taught Leland that her sister's full name is Lucy Maydene Gates. Of course, then Leland asked, "Dad, what's your Gates?" and then "Mom, what's your Gates?"
So, tonight, Leland kept asking "What is your Gates? What is Lucy's Gates? What is Mommy's Gates?" We spent a long time repeating everybody's full names over and over. Finally, I got an idea. "Guess who else is a Gates," I said. "Grammy and Papa are also Gates!" That just about blew her mind.
So, we called Grammy and Leland asked, "Grammy, what's your Gates?"
