Dana and Meeenie

Let me introduce you to Penny and our neighbor Brenna. Or as Penelope says "Dana and Meeenie"

Penelope is very into turns right now. If we are playing with the ball she points to who gets it next "A daddy" "A Mommy" "A Mi!" Well, every time I'd throw it to her I'd say "To Penny". Now she has decided to put the two words together. Any time when she used to say Me or Mine, she now says "Meenie!". So in the morning it is "meenie's oatmeal" , which I will agree that usually in the morning she earns the nickname, but most times she is so sweet that I'd rather she didn't tell her new friend at the playground her name is Meenie. Sheesh...we adopted a dog from a shelter named Sissy and changed her name because we thought that was such a sad name for a dog even if she was scared of everything. Now our daughter calls herself Meenie. I guess it could be worse...Chris has called her Pooper enough times that it's pretty amazing she hasn't started introducing herself as Pooper P.
