We try to keep in touch with our parents by using our web cam to talk to them whenever we have time and they are home and Sheinah is awake...clearly, its hard to make all those variables line up. We refer to Melissa's parents as grandma and grandpa and Travis' parents are lala and opa. The story behind the "lala" is not what you think...it's not because Lori is in "lala" land :) It came when Shannon's kids (Travis' sister) were little. Lori wanted to use the spanish word for grandma (abuelita) because the kids already referred to grandpa using the german word (opa) and the german word for grandma (oma) just sounded too much like opa for the kids to tell it apart. Well, the kids had trouble saying abuelita and all they got out was "lala." Hence, Lori became "lala" and now she does get to be in "lala land" when she's with her grandkids.
Anyway, back to the story here. We were about to connect to grandma and were telling Sheinah that we were going to see grandma when all the suddent she says "nama"...just like that...no prompting or anything. And then she starting pointing at the computer screen and saying "nama." While we were waiting for Jackie to fire up here computer, we took advantage of the new word and videotaped Sheinah saying "nama".
