Introducing Zibby & Nik Nik

First I have to say that I am STOCK FULL of good stories tonight. But first I have to introduce Zibby & Nik Nik.
These names have come to pass over the last few days. It started the other night when we were in the car and Libby was telling us what her name was. Well Jim started calling her Stinkerbell (b/c she now loves Tinkerbell) and she got very upset saying that her name was LIBBY not stinkerbell. So I told her that her name was actually Elizabeth and Libby was her Nickname and she got REALLY upset and yelled "DON'T CALL ME NIK NIK, MY NAME IS LIBBY'... and Nik Nik is borne : ) So since then we have been calling her Nik Nik when we are all playing... well frankly to get a good laugh at her getting really serious and telling us that her name is LIBBY HABECK!
Well not wanted to let Allison out we tried to come up with a new nickname for her. She has several, Alli, AlliCat, AlliPie. We tried AGHy (AGH = initials) but that didn't seem to sound just right. Then remember a old story from when Allison was little and Libby was just a twinkle in my eye (or a little june bug in my belly). So here is introducing Zibby:
When Allison was little, say around 12 months old she decided that she really like the word 'Zibby'. No one really knew what it meant, we thought it meant she wanted a sippy cup but this word came out when she was happy, mad, playing, crying, you name it. She just seemed to like the word Zibby. During that time we used to call her Zibby b/c she said it so much... and there Zibby is reborn!
So now we will have the many adventures of Zibby and Nik Nik. Although Allison says that her name is not Zibby it is Grilled Cheese because that is her favorite food. LOL, Zibby!

For the first of, I am sure, many adventures of Zibby & Nik Nik!
Tonight we decided to go out for dinner. So off to Chili's we went, YUMMY! We got there and both girls were extra wound up from spending the day with daddy b/c of no school for MLK Day. On the way Allison, aka Zibby, was saying how much she LOVED Grilled Cheese and that was what she wanted for dinner, well Jim spoke up and said that he really liked Grilled Cheese too. Allison got all serious and said, "Daddy, you can't like Grilled Cheese". Daddy replied, "Why not Alli?"
"Because it is Girls Cheese Daddy!" Now I know that sounds like a corny joke but I swear it came out of her mouth... Ask Jim...
Nik Nik had an interesting night too. As we are having the "girls cheese" conversation she chimes in with some silly things and in a matter of about 30 seconds falls asleep. Then once we get seated and the girls start to color she proceeded to fall asleep coloring and drools all over her hand and the crayon and wakes up right before her head hits the table. Man where is the camcorder when you need it. I guess daddy really wore them out today.
Ok, one more very sweet thing from Zibby (Allison) and I will be done for the night. After we are all done with our dinners and we are getting ready to leave Allison announces "Mommy & Daddy this was ABSOLUTELY the place I wanted to go to eat tonight!" Who knew my 4 year hold knew the word absolutely let alone knew how to use it!
And there you have it the first adventures of Zibby & Nik Nik.
Good Night...
