Ella Bo Bella: Our nickname for Mirielle or Ella. I sing a little song, "Ella, ella, bo bella fee fi fo fella, ella." Actually you can use any name and keep the first sound the same but change just the end of a couple parts. Anyway, Ella and Michelle love this song and used to make me sing it over and over with everyone's name that they knew. So we started calling Mirielle Ella (since Michelle couldn't pronounce Mirielle when she was only 2) and then Ella bo Bella. Even Bryce and Sylas call her Ella Bo Bella.
Kodi Bankerhead: Kodi Bankhead is a friend of Michelle's and one of our neighbors. She is an adorable blond haired five year old and the daughter of our good friends Dan and Heather. Well I don't know why Ella started saying their name as "Bankerhead" but it sure made Kodi mad one day when Ella kept saying, "Come here, Kodi Bankerhead." She wasn't doing it to be mean or tease Kodi. But now Michelle and Ella both talk about Kodi Bankerhead and the Bankerhead family. Maybe it's because Michelle learned a song in school called "My Mother is a Baker" which she sings, "My mommy is a banker." Who knows? Sorry, Kodi! :)
Paci (pa see): The nickname "Binky" for pacifier has never made sense to me. Who came up with that? How do you get "binky" from pacifier? Anyway, we never called it a binky. We always called it a pacifier and that got shortened to "paci" instead. Ella never liked having a paci, but Michelle loved hers until she was nearly 3. She still refers to them as pacis when she sees other kids with them. (The picture above was taken when Michelle was not quite 3 and shows her "paci" and her "siccy pup" and her grandma.)
