EINSTEIN:
This week Mallory and I stopped in Jack's aquarium and purchased a new little edition to our family. Meet Einstein. Einstein is a Gold Fish with white accent stripes that has created a permanent residence on our kitchen counter. He swims, eats, and swims some more. So exciting, right? To Mallory, however, it is quite exciting. She likes to poke the bowl and get him to swim around quickly. In retrospect, she is probably scaring him to death.
The name Einstein is a story in itself. Earlier this year, when I was in Hawaii, I got Marc a shirt with Einstein on it. He was wearing it one night when Mallory curiously pointed at Einstein and asked "whas that?" Marc explained to her that was Einstein. She looked at him and replied "Stein Stein?" Now, she will say Einstein when asked. It is a mystery to me why I can't get her to say "Grandma" or "Grandpa" but she can say "Einstein." Perhaps we should start calling Grandpa and Papaw Einstein....just a thought.
