We've been considering getting a kitten, so I asked Kristin what she'd like to name the cat. (Not really expecting an answer, as she was only 15 months, and had only been talking single-words for a little while). She immediately yelled, "Top! Top!" It took me a while, but I finally figured out she wants to name the cat Top Cat! This sounds just perfect to me. Next thing you know she'll be asking for "Benny! Benny!".
