Where did the name Dr. Cook come from?

Karen said...

The short version of the story is that Dr. Cook gave the horse to Judah for his first birthday.

I had the exact same question so I'm glad Anne asked. Sounds like she and I need to get the LONGER version sometime, though! :-)

THE LONG VERSION

Craig Cook, a good friend of ours (some of you may remember him from our wedding party), is currently finishing up medical school in Buffalo and will soon be a real-life doctor. He was visiting us around Judah's first birthday and brought him the horse as a much-too-nice birthday gift. Judah loved the gift immediately and hopped on and dug in his spurs.

This also happened to be about the time that Judah started giving people kisses. As you might imagine, Karen and I loved getting kisses from Judah, and we would ask him for kisses absolutely non-stop.

So...Judah's on the horse riding his little heart out, and Karen says to Judah, "Judah, can you give Dr. Cook a kiss to thank him for your nice present?" Judah stopped bouncing, paused for a thoughtful second, and leaned over and kissed the horse on the head. We have called him Dr. Cook ever since.

Hi there! Here I am again!! Isn't it amazing how names and nicknames are achieved over time!
The next time Dr. Cook comes to visit - - it will be interesting to see who Judah gives a kiss to when requested :"Give Dr. Cook a kiss!" :+)
Should make for an intresting visit!!! Louise
