Adrianna enjoyed playing with a couple of white bears she found at Grammy and Grampy’s house. When I asked her what their names were, I was told that the larger of the two was “Andy” and the other one was “Wawa.” However, when I was talking about the larger bear later in the day, she changed her mind and told me that the large bear was “Wawa” and the other one was “Andy.” Both bears traded names back and forth for the remainder of our stay.
When we got home and she spotted a white bear she has here at home, its name (previously “White Bear”) also became “Andy.”
I can only assume she picked up the name Andy from my Raggedy Ann and Andy blanket (which Adrianna calls the “Andy Andy glanglet”). I am not sure where the Wawa came from, unless it is an adaptation of her own name, which she pronounces as “Adiwawa.”
Oh, and speaking of bears’ names, I was informed tonight that Teddy Bear’s name was “Teddy Beeh Grace Weimoh.”
