John Wayne Trivia " Most published sources refer to Wayne's birth name as Marion Michael Morrison. His birth certificate, however, gives his original name as Marion Robert Morrison. According to Wayne's own statements, after the birth of his younger brother in 1911, his parents named the newborn Robert Emmett and changed Wayne's name from Marion Robert to Marion Michael."

October 4th: Duke's week evaluation spoke volumes. My little guy is crazy cute, and incredibly stubborn, which I have had pointed out to me....That he gets from me. I would like to note he gets his crazy cuteness from me as well. Since school has started we have had picture day (which I protest because we get them cuter and for less at Picture People), a field trip permission slip for October and a visit from the fire fighters.

Though I didn't buy duke's pictures I still dressed him for a picture. He face palmed on his own.

      This is from his teacher Ms. Rogers "Duke had a great week at school! He is quickly learning our routine and learning to follow directions in the classroom. He is a very self-directed little boy, which is typically what we see from new students. We are working on having him follow teacher directions to get what he wants throughout the day. We have noticed that Duke can be a little bit stubborn (what 3 year old isn't???) so we are working hard on this with him. Duke is giving us some approximations of words at school. For example, today he was told to ask for help if he needed help with his chair and he voiced "help" pretty clearly. Does he say "I want that" at home? He has said something that sounds a lot like that at school a few times appropriately and I am wondering if you have heard that before. He is a very fun and smiley little boy. We are loving having him in class"
