Beanie & Q

Dear Girls:

I enjoy calling you nicknames. They don't all "stick." A couple have, though.

Katie, I used to call you "Katie Cucumber," but that worked it's way down to "Cu," but in my mind it is now just "Q." So, when I get home, I often say, "Hi, Q, how was school today?!" or simply "Hey Q!"

Lilly, I call you "Beanie" because you're like a little bean. God typically makes people with Williams Syndrome a little smaller than those without Williams, and one day I thought to myself, "Lilly's like a little bean." Then, I started calling you "Beanie." I sometimes modify it and call you "Beans and Cream." By the way, you are now 2 years and 4 months old (28 months total), but you are the size of a 16 month old without Williams Syndrome.

I love you Q and Beanie!

Daddy
