Today I found a book that Chance had made about himself at school when he was 5. It was really cute. He had filled in what color his hair is, what color is eyes are and then he wrote that he had a pet named Buffy. It was very nice. Except, we have never had a pet named Buffy. Well, there was that period of time when we kept getting tadpoles that passed away just when they were on the brink of transforming into frogs. Unless I have forgotten that one of those poor souls was named Buffy, Buffy has not existed at our home.
I think Chance was telling people about our pet bunny, but they could not understand what he was saying and so Buffy was the best guess anyone had. Just this year in school, Chance was telling his teacher what the name of his dog was, but try as she might, his teacher could not understand what the name was. So, I sent in a note with the name of all of Chance's pets on it so that any future discussions about pets would go smoother.
As a general rule, people understand what Chance says. When you get to pet names though, when it could be anything, it is hard to guess if you don't know. We need to work on Chance's articulation when he says his pets names so that other people will always understand what he is saying. Pets are important to be able to talk about.
