Kani and Mia, The Evolution Of Names
Jul 4th, 2008 by susan
I am now “Mommy”, and sometimes even “Mom”. I miss the days of “Mama”, and I’m not quite sure when “Mama” turned into “Mommy”! Keilani’s name has also evolved…. her best friend Sebastian (also 2) calls her “Lani”, and she calls herself “Kani” or more recently “Kei-nani”. She calls her sister Malia “Mia” or “Ma-EE-a!”. I love the nicknames and hope they will continue! I’m still known as “Susie” to my family, and I love that familiarity. Even my husband Ross has a nickname, “Fuji” or “Fuj”! (Always shouted, as in, “Yo, Fuji! Whassup?” in only that way men talk to one another) 
OK, just capturing this for posterity. (And secretly wondering what happens once I get 10 posts on this blog… does the last one disappear off of the page? Do I need 11 posts for another page? Am I the only dork in cyberspace who wonders these things?)
