Gigi, Marmee and Papa have chosen their names and visited the Dragon Boss. They changed diapers, went on walks with us, cooked countless meals and generally bit their lip when we'd say something like, We need to put Whit to sleep now.
They've all departed saddened at the thought that tomorrow, they won't get to pick up their grandson, but happy to have spent the time with him that they did. There's one more visit next week from Jamie and Lorna, then Baleen and I might make our first dinner in over four weeks.
There's also some names to choose as Jamie and Lorna are, right now, Jamie and Lorna. Everybody else has chosen a nickname, just like Wood Duck's parents were Pop and Mama Edie to me, which leaves the traditional names wide open. Jamie may choose Grandpa, but he's also threatening to wait up to a year or two as little Whit won't be able to talk for another twelve months or so, he says. Maybe then he'll decide, unless The Dragon Boss comes up something on his own before then.
