Martin Ford, Jr.

So, the other day Martini's teacher calls me and tells me that Martini told her that he nolonger wants to be called Martini, but Martin now. Actually, Martin Ford, Jr. She immediately honored his request (she is awesome like that) and called him Martin. Martini's classmates told her, "that's not his name. It's Martini!" She told them that he wants to be called Martin now and the class had such a fun time calling him his new name. I got a paper back and he so nicely wrote out his entire name.

Our little man is growing up. We always said that we would let him decide when he wanted to be called Martin, but we didn't think it would be this soon! One day, you're holding your precious one in the crook of your arm wondering what they will be like when they're older, then you blink and your little one is six years old telling you what he prefers to be called and explaining that he is his father's junior!
