Knowing Your Roots

Dear Izzyboo,

To make sure you know your roots, we have enlisted your 爺爺 and 奶奶 to help pick out a chinese name for you. 爺爺 picked out a beautiful name—Chen Si Ling (曾思铃). Si (思) means to ponder, to think, and Ling (铃) means bell. So I guess your name will mean "pondering bell"...will you be a great philosopher when you grow up?

Mommy and Daddy absolutely love this name as it totally suits you! Maybe we can also call you "Ling Ling" for short! Your full name will be Isabelle Alexis Si Ling Chen.

Love, Mom
