The world according to Blanche, because the world revolves around her.

Oh, she decided she is just Blanche now. 
(kind of like Madonna)
Next year she will be starting a new preschool and I decided we needed to make the decision now on what she will go by so that it can continue throughout her school years. 
I like to plan ahead.
We've always called her Blanche or Blanchie, actually she goes by a variety of monikers. 
She is such a Blanche though. 
If I could go back I would birth my babies again and name them their middle names. 
Okay, I would only do it if someone could promise me that the part where my epidural moved, or fell out, or whatever the heck happened and I went from a 0 to 10 on the pain scale would get omitted. 
Anyway I think Blanche and Charlie are much more fitting for my kids, but what's done is done. 
It would feel strange to actually go and have their names legally changed. 
So I sat Brooklyn/Blanche down and asked her what she would like her teachers to call her next year at her new school. 
I love talking to her because she really is just like a grown-up stuck in that teeny tiny body, which is the exact opposite of the original Blanche who is now like a child trapped in a very old body. 
She chose Blanche without any coaxing. 
These are some of her views of the world that I've taken note of recently. 
1.  No outfit is complete without a crown, a bikini top, two necklaces and one bracelet, and a backpack.
2.  Girls smell good and Daddies and boys stink. 
3.  Tom & Jerry is the funniest show around.
4.  Hair should never be brushed because it is much too painful. 
I'm going to have to agree with her on some of these.
