My Princess Buttercup

Anyone who knows me well, knows how much I LOVE my niece, Lily Grace.  I am missing her as she is in London right now and this will be the longest I have EVER gone without seeing her since the day she was born, so I thought I would do a blog all about My Princess Buttercup (the name I call her).  My Sister waited a long time to have a child, so when I found out she was having a baby I was a little sad because it wasn't me, but I was SO happy for her.  Once she and her Husband found out they were having a girl, my Sister knew that Grace had to be somewhere in the name so we would text back and forth with names that would sound good.  I text her, Lily Grace and she said, no that she was afraid that kids would call her Lily Pad or Lily Licker and she did not want her being made fun of for her name.  I told her that kids could make fun of any name and it really didn't matter what the name was.  So, she told her Husband that I came up with Lily Grace and he really liked it.  So, the next day she called me and said that he told her if I really liked that name, they would let me name their baby.  So, Lily Grace became the name.  I cry just typing that story because it was really selfless of both My Sister and her Husband to let me name their first baby together!  I also ended up moving in with them shortly after Lily was born to help take care of Lily Grace, so I got to spend every single day with her.
