alligator.

That is apparently, Izzy's new name. I don't know why or where it came from, but Eva has decided and that's just how it is right now.

Whenever I do make the mistake of referring to Izzy as...well...Izzy, I am immediately corrected by Eva that the proper way to address my youngest is "alligator."

Oh, and Eva is to be called "Daughter" and in turn, Paul and I have become "Mother and Father." Which, I can't say that I mind.

Kids.
