M...What a wonderful way to create self affirmation! My daughter is turning 13 in January. Aside from her regular birthday celebration, she and I take a few hours on her actual birthday to celebrate her. It might be as big as going to a play, or as little as going for a bite to eat. The one thing she knows about herself is how her name came about. We don't discuss this every year, but it comes up a lot and she's proud of it. <br /><br />Her father and I came up with her name together. I've had the name Attiana set aside for my daughter in my head ever since I could remember. I used to write it on my notebooks in school. Not that I wanted to have a baby then, I just loved the name and didn't want to forget it. Once we found out we were having a girl, I told my husband (then boyfriend) then name I wanted. He didn't like it so much, but offered to compromise. With me knowing that it had to be some variation of the name I had picked out, we came up with Tiana. It just so happens that Tiana is also a Disney Princess, so she loves it. =D <br /><br />As for my son, the one thing that we try to get across to him is that his name is the continuation of a blood line. He's the only male from his grandfather who's carrying it on. Calvin III. He's only 6, so there's still time to start incorporating additional things into his celebrations. <br /><br />Thank you so much for the inspiration!Tickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272388199412998962noreply@blogger.com
