 today is Her Royal Highness Little Queen Mary’s second birthday the day she came to us we stood at the bed finger to lips one of the children whispered shhh quiet don’t scare the little baby of a sudden she appeared head up eyes wide sunshine baby her big sister infant herself announced well we have a tiny fresh little baby here a girl her name is Miss Lucy we laughed passed kisses passed tears marveled at Miss Lucy in the fullness of time Miss Lucy was named Mary now in her second year a green gown she sits before strawberry cake silver spoon in hand rules her kingdom with a soft fist commanding voice and says my name is Rita oh what’s in a name? ___________________________________ my granddaughter Mary Sophia Lucine Samuels was unnamed and called Miss Lucy for the first 6 weeks of her life  |

What a precious little cutie pie! The question...what's in a name is, I think, really an important one...I'm a firm believer, we grow into our names. Enjoyed this, Lady!  ...jo |

Kate, this is lovely! Children are a wonderful gift! I count myself amongst one of the lucky ones but it seems that grandchildren are a long, long, way off for me. |

Some babies lean into their naming... and some are just crowned.  |
