Piggie Wiggie


It's bathtime! Diddy enjoys his first dip and he seemed like he enjoyed himself. Must be like going back into the womb at a comfy 37 degrees. Unlike the November weather here, which is a less than comfy 7 degrees during the day.
Clever Aunty Sylvie sent me the translation of his Chinese name:
Chuan Yin.
Chuan = to propagate, to pass knowledge, to transmit.
Yin = to shelter under a tree, to comfort, to protect.
Chuan is the name as decreed by the family naming system, Yin was decided by his grandparents.
Chinese names can be so poetic, I think his chosen names are really lovely. Diddy is born under the Chinese Year of the Pig. And he sounds like one too when her is crying. Not the piggy squeals, but the piggie nasal grunts, erm, a bit like his Dad.
