We’ve been on this path before, so I wanted to be SURE that Will had a name before I reported that he was finally SOMETHING in Ellie’s vocabulary. She’s had a few times where she would call him something a few times and then drop it for months. But on Wednesday last week when she woke up and I carried her into our bed, Will wasn’t awake. He was nowhere to be seen. (This is very unusual in the morning.) She looked around and then said “Woah-wee? Woah-wee?” And from that point on he has had a name! She says it every day in all the right ways.
Hurray for Woah-wee! He has a name and it stuck! (Willie, for the record, doesn’t seem to like this particular version much. “She’s saying it wrong” he said. He liked Woah-Woah but Woah-wee probably sounds too much like the real thing for him!)
