That is by far the very best thing I have read in a while! Thank you so much for sharing.
I love “mini-wheats” as well as the Latin name!
I think giving our babies silly nick names is something most people do. I had some crazy silly ones when mine were babies. For example, my oldest child… Patrick (who is now 15 years) I started for some reason calling him “pumpkin” and then while eating something that had noodles one day I started calling him “noodle boy” some how all that morphed into “pumpkin noodles”, that one actually stuck for some time. LOL.
My baby, Brandon who is 12 didnt get to many rough nick names, his main one was because of how his bedroom was decorated, it was all done up in Winnie the Pooh, in that was a character named “Kanga” and Kanga’s baby’s name was “Roo” get it? Anyway, some how Brandon got “Branda Roo” or “Roo Boy” or simply “Roo”. Sadly for Brandon this one stuck around way to long as he is sometimes still called Roo by only his dad or me…lol. Poor Kid.
Oh and your question about the kid knowing his name….forget it! When Patrick was a baby and up til around when I got prego with the other so a lil more than a year and a half Patrick was always referred to as “the baby” when we talked to anyone, how the baby, when we talked to each other he was the baby. The reason for this is that he is a “Jr” as in Patrick Jr. Having the same name as his dad he was the baby, and things did not go well when I got pregnant again and referred to the baby as the baby and Patrick as Patrick, it was a nightmare, he was sooo confused! I swear this is why we had jealousy problems with him when Brandon was born and still do, I really think he was mad because he couldnt be “the baby” anymore. So good luck with that, you just never know when a silly little decision becomes a life long one.
I cant beleive I wrote all that just trying to say thanks for sharing such a nice story.
LOL
Take Care
Heather
