Our Goose

Although Trista has numerous nicknames given to her by her Daddy, the one that sticks the most is "Goose". Sometimes she gets mad at her Dad and insists he should call her Trista, but other times she loves her nicknames - like Sunday at the zoo. She got a kick out of the geese at the zoo because they come up so close, so she asked if she could have her picture taken with the goose since they have the same name. She started honking at the goose trying to talk it into coming closer to her.
More on her nickname:

It is an abbreviated version of the initial nickname "Monkey Goose" - which is a blended nickname of "Monkey George" (which she got after seeing her 1st movie at the theater and talking non-stop about Curious George for a week) and "Silly Goose" (which we have called her since she was 2 years old because she always makes us smile).

Some of her other nicknames include:
Trista Jean Bean
Sally Jo
Silly Sally
Goosie Ma-noosie
Fred
Smeal - as in "Deal, Smeal?"
Pumpkins
Sweety Peaty
Sugar Bugar
And a side note - she took off her sunglasses more than she wore them at the zoo so she could carry them on her shirt like her Papa Peterson does. (see pic above)
