Remington's Nick-names...

*Reme -- derived from your name, shortened.

*Duckie -- because in one of the first ultrasound pictures we had of you in utero, you resembeled a little duck with plumage atop the head. Your face was turned towards what looked like a duck's preening feathers at tail's end.

*Son-shine -- because Daddy sings a special song for you, all about you being his Son.

*Little Him -- this moniker came about because someone was talking to you about your Dad. They said: "we know you love Him (meaning Daddy)." After that, I started calling you "Little Him."

*Squeaker -- from Aunt Joyce because you squeaked at her every time she picked you up.

*Little Man -- from Daddy whenever he sings to you or says loving things to you.

*Cuddle Bug -- because you snuggle with Mommie whenever she burps you or whenever you are sleeping in her arms.

*Mommie's Tigger -- because as you are learning to walk and crawl you either get on your hands and knees and rock back and forth in a bouncing motion OR stand up and bounce, bounce, bounce. Also, you enjoy being bounced on the bed, or in your Exer-saucer. Sometimes you will stand on the couch, holding on to the back of the couch, me or Daddy and bounce away!

*Speed Racer -- because as you are crawling you move lightening fast!!!!!

*Mister -- Daddy started calling you "Mister" after you turned one year of age because you are maturing so fast. It is a nick-name that came about quite by accident...Daddy was trying to spit out Little Man, but somehow the words Mister Man came out and then got shortened to 'Mister.'

*Lil' Tornado -- because you are a whirlwind! You are interested in EVERYTHING and get into EVERYTHING...and as my adventurer...I think it is wonderful!

*Haaaaamm Sanwich -- because you have an amazing sense of humor!!! This nick-name started when you were 18 months old. You have the funnest personality!

Life IS Beautiful...

Remington: "Life Is Beautiful" is one of my favorite films. It is about a father who loves his Son so much that he uses his imagination and every innovative idea possible to keep his Son from harm while both were interned in a Nazi Concentration camp. I've been thinking a lot today about how perfect my life is just because you and Daddy are in it. Although not everything in my life has come together the way I envisioned for myself or your Dad, it is wonderful. The film, despite its conveyance of injustice, makes me realize that I should not take my quiet little life for granted. I am blissful in my life. I have you (a wonderful baby), and your Dad. Our home, our life is perfect in EVERY way.
I am appreciative and grateful for every lesson learned along my personal journey. I love every person I've met along the way -- for they've brought kindness, inspiration, wisdom, mentorship, friendship, challenge...all positive things for me to grow as a Human Being. Things are not always easy as one follows the road that elicits one's life-path, but each adventure, experience, person, lesson...well they all consolidate to make living one's life perfect. I hope you will find happiness and positive's from every facet of your life. To be happy and blissful because one can reflect on the facets of experience and goodness in the world is cathartic and joyful. Life is truly beautiful, truly worth it. I am so happy that my life is perfect and I hope that you will discover your journey and life in its perfection, too.

Love Forever and x Infinity,

Mommie.
