Ree Drummond’s Granddaughter Sofia Has Bother Saying ‘Ree Ree’

Ree Drummond and her granddaughter, Sofia, share a relationship so particular that it principally transcends phrases! While there’s no query that Sofia completely adores her grandmother, she could or could not name Ree the fallacious identify. 😂

When Sofia was born, Ree took on the grandma identify, “Ree Ree,” which is the candy nickname that her personal mother, Gerre, calls her. Initially, after all, there wasn’t any pushback—however now that Sofia is getting older and studying methods to sound out her syllables, she’s having bother wrapping her head across the appropriate articulation of “Ree Ree.” “Sofia pronounces ‘Ree Ree’ as ‘Yaya,’ and it’s the funniest thing 😂😂,” Sofia’s mother, Alex Drummond, just lately revealed on Instagram.

Even although everybody within the Drummond household refers to Ree as “Ree Ree” in entrance of Sofia, the one-year-old can’t appear to know the idea. “My mom’s grandma name is ‘Ree Ree,’ and for some reason, it’s in Sofia’s brain that ReeRee equals Yaya—that’s how she says it,” Alex shared within the Instagram story. “We’ll be like, ‘Sofia, can you say Ree Ree?’ And she’ll be like, ‘Yaya.’”

Since saying “ReeRee” doesn’t roll off the tongue for Sofia, that begs the query: Will Ree change her grandma identify earlier than her second grandchild is born? If it have been totally as much as Ree, most likely not. “So now, we’re joking that my mom’s grandma name is going to be Yaya, but she objects to that—she prefers ReeRee—but we think it’s so funny,” Alex continued in her video.

One factor’s for certain: The identify “Papa” is right here to remain! Papa is the identify that Sofia calls her grandpa (Ree’s husband, Ladd), and in accordance with Alex, Sofia’s pronunciation is sort of good. “She says ‘Papa’ really well, though,” Alex added.

Thankfully, there aren’t any laborious emotions on Ree’s finish. (And how might there be?!) The identify barrier definitely didn’t cease Ree from having the perfect time with Sofia on the ranch this previous weekend. “She had a really fun day today hanging out with Ree Ree and Papa,” Alex stated of Sofia’s playdate with Ree on Friday. Sofia simply wants a little extra time, and he or she’ll be saying “Ree Ree” like a professional!
