AKA Smarts

Let me introduce you to Cole Bly AKA "Smarts."  A few weeks ago Cole started noticing that his cousins call me "aunt caca" (laugh if you must) but I take that nickname with pride.  Grayson and Olivia gave that to me ALL on their own at a very young age. 

One Saturday night he asked me to give him a nickname.  If you know me well, I am a thinker and not one to give someone a "nickname" in a matter of seconds, so I did what any GREAT mom would do and told him to ask his Dad!  :)  Levi told Cole to give him a night to think it over. 

All the way to church on Sunday, Cole drilled us on his nickname, we assured him we would have one after church!  I did my normal Sunday routine and visited and picked up Judson from nursery!  When I got back to the car THEY had decided on a name!!    It went something like this:

Cole:  Dad I thought of a nickname during church!
Levi:  Really Cole so did I!
Cole:  Let me tell you first Dad...I think it should be "smarts."
Levi: Chuckling... Cole I wanted to call you "brains," but "smarts is better."

So here you have it, the name we worked so hard to come up with...this ornery, adorable, talkative little guy would NOW like to be called "SMARTS" by ALL!
