Shi Shi

You might be asking yourself two questions by now:

1. "What in the world is a Shi Shi?"

2. "How did you come up with that ridiculous name?"

Sounds bizarre doesn't it?

It's actually what we've decided Bella will call my mom (Janet). At least for now.

When I was pregnant with Bella--Chris, Dad, Mom and myself were talking over dinner one night about what grandma and grandpa Bradley would call themselves.

Dad (Miles) would be named Popi.

Chris' parents already had grandparent names: Popo and Nana. But, what about Janet?

We shouted out a few names: Grannie, Na-na, etc. But, then mom randomly yelled, "Shi-Shi!"

All four of us chuckled then busted out laughing.

We all thought it was the most hilarious name we had ever heard. But, to our surprise we kept saying it more and more and more and more.

Finally, the name "Shi-Shi" stuck.
