31st
It’s no surprise that during the past couple of months Sophie has taken a huge interest in the baby dolls at school. They are her favorite toy and she has asked to bring them home on more than one occasion. Well, over the weekend Sophie got to choose a baby doll of her own. This baby is complete with a removable diaper and binky— the same features that interest Sophie most about her new sisters.
As we were leaving the store we asked Sophie was she would like to name her new baby. Mom and Dad threw out several suggestions. Sophie latched on to the fourth name we threw out— Clementine. We immediately complemented her choice and began singing…”Oh my darlin’ Clementine”.
Well..later that night when Papa Cranley asked Sophie the name of her new baby. Sophie stopped and thought for a few moments, very clearly trying to remember the name she had selected an hour previously. After a few minutes, she very confidently said, Darling. My baby’s name is Darling.
And Darling it has been ever since!
