In fact, Abielle, a common misspelling for the french word "Honeybee" is her middle name. I should know, because I misspelled it on her birth certificate when I was in post partum fog. The correct spelling is Abeille. Now, the real meaning of her true middle name seems to be "Corporation Yard." Not sure what that is, but I suppose it could be a fitting meaning of there are bones involved.
Even though Serenity is her first name, which most people tend to find ironic, we were not crazy enough to follow that name up with a middle name of "Patience." Seren may be volatile, but she is as serene as a honeybee. Who doesn't tread lightly around a honeybee for fear one may be at the wrong end of the stinger? Yet, a honeybee will go about its business in peace until something upsets it. That is our Serenity. Patient, she is not.
So, I picked up a weaving/bead project for Evy to work on while Penny is taking a nap. Seren is old enough to learn how to thread beads and make her own necklace, but not mature enough for weaving. Evy, on the other hand, has patience in spades. She enjoyed her few minutes she had with her project until Penny rousted from her nap. Seren enjoyed the bouncing beads. Even though I showed her how to thread beads, they still wouldn't cooperate now matter how loud she screamed. She did, however, scream loud enough for the table to vibrate and for the beads to use the opportunity to run away as fast as the could to some oblivion on the floor. That is when Penny came out of her bedroom to save the day.
No, patience is not Seren's middle name.
