I thought we named her...

I thought Jeff and I named our daughter Cailyn.

Apparently I was wrong.

Cailyn asks people to call her specific names. It all started with that Dinah episode. And then there was babycakes. And the list has grown.

The current list:
Mom - Babycakes
Auntie Shannon - Buttercup
Grandma Mary - Honey Bunch
Grandma Kelli - Sweety Pie
Andy - Dinah
Nancy - Pink and Purple
Travis - Dinosaur

4th of July she wanted most people to call her Bubba or Hippy, unless you already had a specific name for her.

Auntie Carrie heard she had all of those names, and asked her what she could call her. Cailyn thought for a moment. Carrie said "What do you like?" Cailyn answered "Pineapple?" Carrie laughed and said "What else do you like? What should I call you?" Cailyn put her pointer finger on her chin and thought for another moment, then said "Ol' Pizza Place!?!?" It stuck.

Auntie Carrie - Ol' Pizza Place

And the strange thing is, she can keep them all straight. If anyone calls her the wrong name, she corrects them. If I ever call her Cailyn, she says "No, you call me babycakes!"
