the way her mind works

It is amazing the way that Cristiana’s mind works. She knows that the baby’s name will be different when she is born, so she does not even call her “Sally”, she calls her “the baby”.

The other day she asked me to tell her the baby’s name. “Please, Mama, tell me her name.”

“No, Cristiana, you have to wait.”

And that scenario went over and over a few times, word for word. The last time I simply told her, “No, Cristiana, it is a surprise.” That seemed to get her to stop asking. Rod said later that she did the same thing with him. Do you think she wants to know?
