Name Change

And so it has been done.  The little man now shares the same last name as his sister, his daddy and me.  It was a very easy process.  There was nothing to going up before the judge and stating that it was not for anything illegal or fraudulent.  And then it was done.
I say he always has been one of us, but he will now never have to explain it.  No one will question him having a different last name than his sister.  And the name he had, his mom doesn't even have anymore.  He's never met the grandparent that still has that name.  I think this was a good thing I did today.
This was so important to Papa.  He had wanted it done so badly.  But we both procrastinated.  And we may have been having a standoff to see who was going to do it.  But the little man is the last in Dave's line with his name.  The only one who can pass it on some day in the future.
 I have now completed all the things Dave wanted me to do. I do believe this was the most important thing Dave wanted me to do and somewhere, wherever he is, he is smiling.
I planned on taking the littles out to celebrate, but neither wanted to go. They just wanted to get naked and sit around.  When do they outgrow that stage?
