What's His Name?

My daughter, Allie, is two and a half. For some reason she is obsessed with names. She knows and wants to know everyone's name. She knows all of her friend's names in our playgroup as well as all of their mom's. She knows the names of every single character in her favorite books, TV shows and movies (like Cinderella's mice friends). She asks us what everyone's name is: the cashier at the grocery store, the garbage man, strangers biking in the street - nearly everyone she lays eyes on, including animals. As if that is not enough, now she is also fascinated with who and how people are related. She asks questions like, "What's his dad's name?" (with no dad in sight) or "Who's that boy's grandmother?"

Combine all this talk about names and relationships and I can't believe we weren't expecting her next question. We were driving in the car one day and she saw a dog.
She asked, "What's that doggy's name?"
My husband mustered up every ounce of creativity in his being and said, "German Shephard."
Then she asked, as if it was the most logical follow up question in the world, "What's that doggy's daddy's name?"

Well, in honor of Allie's awesome doggy question, I'd like to feature this adorable Blue Dog Baby Woof Gift Set by Orange Cupcake. Not only is this woof set super cute, but with every purchase, $5.00 is donated to one of these charities of your choice: Teach for America, Charity Water or Donors Choose, connecting donors to classrooms in need. So, not only will your baby or favorite little toddler one be sporting this cool, modern lounge wear, but you'll be giving back too!
