Sierra-Bear

First a prelude..when Sierra was littler I often called her Sierra-Bear. I don't know why, it just seemed to fit. So much so, that one day in speech therapy when she was 4, her speech therapist asked her her middle name...to which she replied "bear"...and she was serious! Maybe that's why now I often call her Gracie (her middle name is Grace).

Just tonight I started reading the first book in the Narnia series to the girls, "The Magician's Uncle." One of the main characters, a little girl, name is Polly. So I said to Sierra as I was leaving her room,

"Good Night, Polly."

"I'm not Polly. I'm Sierra-Bear!"

"Oh, you are?"

"No, actually.....

...I'm Sierra-Mist!"
