Bear has been quite dissatisfied with Toad’s real first name for a long time. Often times when we are in the car, he will ask me if we can rename him when he grows up. Well, the topic of conversation came up at dinner again last night. Nena jumped right on board with this one too. She hopped up from her enchiladas and ran to get a piece of paper.

The two sat and discussed names and asked me to list them as they discussed them. Toad jumped at a couple of the names. His favorites were Diego, Elmo and Stinky. Unfortunately, he was out voted. Apparently, when Toad starts kindergarten , he will be introduced by his siblings as Jack.

Poor kid. He is going to grow up very confused. His real first name starts with the same letter as his siblings names. He has two middle names both starting with the same letter. He has one distinctive nick name. Now, his siblings are choosing to rename him.

Good Luck Toad… or is it Jack!
