Hehehehehe.... Being the youngest of the brood has it's challenges and brings on premature stress. Especially when you are in Kindergarten and feel the pressure of figuring out all the names of your unborn children and stashing them away in a "top secret" place because you fear that your older siblings will steal all the names you like to name their own children. The poor child is so stressed that there will be no names left for her to name her babies. I keep reassuring her that there won't be THAT many babies born before she gets married and that I am sure she can still find a couple of names that she will like.
Yes, we blame all of this on Laura. =) If it weren't for her having a baby and the name fights that her and Ben (Ben Bryson) have been having, we wouldn't have this undue stress in our home. You see, there is a problem- Laura and Ben H. like a name that Ben B. has always said he is going to name his son one day. Ben B. is quite irritated that there is a possible name thief in the family and Laura told him it will only be a middle name and it would be okay to name a cousin the same first name. Oh dear, the sibling rivalry has finally hit the Bryson home. Hehehe.
In the meantime I have a Kindergartner who is very stressed about names. She came running into our room one morning and jumped on our bed so relieved that she had figured out the names she wanted to name all of her children. Following the revelation of names (which is top secret, of course), she said, "Shhhh... don't tell Laura because she steals names!" We tried to cover up our laughter but we weren't very successful. Let the name wars begin!!

Miss Emma reminds me so much of Elyse!! It is very hard being the youngest girl. And sibling rivalry can be funny too! I already had to set up the schedule of who get's to hold our baby first because it was such an issue one night!
Umm... I just want to clarify something. IIIII am not the name stealer. It just so happens that my dear husband also always wanted to name one of his children Hyrum. But no worries to Ben B., Ben H. also always wanted the name Ammon. So, we're going with Ammon for now. Who knows, it might change once the little guy finally gets here! ;) hehehe. Meanwhile, I'll just have to live with this new found "name stealer" tag. hahaha.
hahaha THAT IS HILARIOUS!!! I'm thinking of my own kindergartner and she is not even on this level...yep, it's all Laura's fault ;) haha
