It's All About Family!

Christian is cute. Period. Lately, he's been very into "naming" various characters after members of our family. Everything is either "Mommy/Baby", "Daddy/Baby" or "Emmy and Tee-Tee" (his way of saying Christian).

Example #1: First thing in the morning, we hear him yelling out "Da-Da!" and "Bee-Bee!" (Baby) at the top of his lungs. When we go in there, he's got his Fred and Ted book (by PD Eastman) and is pointing at Fred, who is big. Fred, apparently, is Da-Da. Then, Ted, who is little, is the Bee-Bee. So funny.

Example #2: Snakes, sharks, and trucks. Christian loves for me to draw pictures of Mommy snakes and Baby snakes; Mommy sharks and Baby sharks; Mommy (or Daddy) trucks and Baby trucks. It's totally darling (of course it is, he loves the Mommy snake and I'm the Mommy snake!). Emily also drew him a picture of a big-sister Loch Ness Monster and a little-brother Loch Ness Monster. It now hangs on his bedroom door.

Example #3: Zurg! Christian has two action figures of Zurg (from Toy Story). One is big, hence, the Mommy Zurg. The other, (have you figured it out yet?) is little and is the Baby Zurg.

I just love how he, naturally, will associate anything and everything to his family. It's all he knows and it is just so cute! Period.

That's so cute! I love how excited little toddlers are about the most random things and cute names that are so important to them.
