Granny Yaya

Cecilia didn't call Granny anything until recently.  During our mealtime blessing, we all give a blessing and then we say, "Cecilia, who are you thankful for?"  And she said, "Mama!"  And then Francesca would say, "Cecilia, who are you REALLY thankful for?"  And she always answered, "Bapa!"  which is Grandpa.  Sometimes we said, "What about Granny?"  And she said, "Uuuuuhhhh . . . " in a tone of, "uh, she's okay, but - no . . . no thank you."

At last, she calls Granny, "Yaya" and it stuck.  Now everyone calls Granny, "Yaya."  We're now also calling Francesca, "ChaCha," because that's just about what Cecilia calls her.  Its a cute nick name, but I'm trying to still call her Francesca as much as possible since its such a pretty name and I think that people like being called by their names.
