Do you have nick names or terms of endearment that you use with your little ones? When Maya was a baby for some reason we got in the habit of always calling her Maya Boo. Not in the Beyonce and Jay-Z sense, just in a fun little baby babble kind of way. After a while it became shortened to Boo and now this is her nickname at home. When Nolan was born I got into the habit of calling him Bub. Again, not sure why, it just kind of came out when I was fussing over him one day and making all kinds of noises and it stuck. Maya started calling him Noly and so that caused Chris to start calling him Noly Canoly. Again, totally random but it stuck. Sometimes he is Canoly for short.
They are my Boo and Bub.
I also have silly little rhymes that I say to them over and over again to a certain rhythm and Maya loves it when I do a little dance along with them:
Maya Marie,
Is Cute as can be
Is Cute as can be
Is Cute as can be
Maya Marie
Is Cute as can be
Is Cute as can be
Is CUTE AS CAN BE!!!!
My Nolan,
Is my Cute little man
my Cute little man
my Cute little man
My Nolan,
Is my Cute little man
my Cute Little man
He's my CUTE LITTLE MAN!!!
Hey, I never said that they were remotely poetic or even interesting to anyone else outside of our circle!
Sometimes at the dinner table Maya asks us to say them over and over again and now insists that we make some up for the rest of us:
My Mommy,
she's so so Pretty
she's so so Pretty
she's so so Pretty
My Mommy
she's so so Pretty
she's so so Pretty
she's SO SO PRETTY!!!
My Daddy,
Is Fun as can be
Is Fun as can be
Is Fun as can be
My Daddy,
Is Fun as can be
Is Fun as can be
Is FUN AS CAN BE!!!!
Our Gunther,
Has lots and lots of Fur
Has lots and lots of Fur
Has lots and lots of Fur
Our Gunther
Has lots and lots of Fur
Has lots and lots of Fur
Has lots and lots OF FUR!!!
What do call your kids? I can't be the only one that has reduced myself to this behaviour. Ok maybe I am. Carry on.
