What's in a name?

    Grayson has actively been trying to name our baby. It's hilarious. The name that he and Jaye originally picked for Baby 4 was "Gamey". "You know, like a game?" Luckily that name has been forgotten. We moved on to some real winners like Key, Co, Coda (named after his dead fish), etc.

    Lately, however, the names have gotten more and more... human. He told me in the car the other day that if it's a brother, we should name him Oscar, and if it's a sister we should name her Evie. Not too bad. And tonight, after reading a bedtime story, Grayson declared, "That's what we should name him! David. That's a good name!"

(PAUSE).

"Or we could call him, Snappy!"

Snappy Ricks. Has a good ring to it.

Side story: Seriously. This is the THIRD time this month, as in the last FIFTEEN days, that Laycee has taken the plunge into our toilet. (Ha... Ahhh, pun-y.) She has almost downed two rolls of toilet paper into the bowl, which is no bueno for us poor college students. It's like our money is just being flushed down the toilet! (haha! Ahhh, pun-y again). It's not that she's just sticking paper in there, but then she likes to take the wads out and dump them on the floor to make room for more toilet paper. SO GROSS!!!

I don't know what's harder, training her to stop playing in the toilet, or training the rest of us to JUST CLOSE THE DOOR after business. Looks like all the Ricks fam needs some serious potty-training. (hahaha!)
