The name game

Abigail is a baby lover. Rarely is she seen without a baby tucked under her arm. Madelyn has always liked baby dolls too but perhaps since she had her own real baby doll (ie. a little sister) the passion for baby dolls never took it to the next level.

But what is really funny about Abby is she is starting to have names for the dolls. Madelyn has been known to come up with some funny names (like "Cough" and "Horse" who live at Glamma and Grandpa's house) Abigail pretty much names all her baby dolls Cayenne. (I thought once there was one named "Pepper" but we have not heard that in a while.) Sometimes the dolls have other names that rhyme with Cayenne but you usually it is just "Cayenne" and "the other Cayenne" or just "Cayenne"" and you are supposed to know which one she is talking about. Oh my! The complex world of a two-year-old.

I suppose if ever Abigail gets a little sister we will know what she will want to name her. I guess that isn't as bad as what Madelyn wanted to name her little sister: Elmo. Cayenne is a very modern kind of name....of celebrity caliber, don't you think? So maybe she is on to something.
