my adeline.

rhymes with clementine.

addi for short...

until recently.

addi told me few weeks ago that her name isn't addi anymore.

"don't call me that. it's not my name!"

"what's your name, then?"

"adeline!"

"well what do i call you for short? what's your nickname?"

"ummm... i dunno."

so i started listing random things... sunshine, seatbelt, water bottle.

she laughed, i listed.

then i started trying to make up real nicknames from "adeline".

liner

adelle

deli

"DELI!!"

deli.
rhymes with jelly.

or like a DELIcious little humans.


a moment of processing silence.

"you want your nickname to be Deli??"

"YEP! I'm DELI now! adeline and deli! and my favorite color is teal right now."

and that was that.

it's hard to get away with calling her addi anymore without getting a sideways, stink-eye stare. so consider yourself warned.

it's official.
