Dear Reme, the inertia of life has left my writings to you minimal since your birthday almost 6 months ago, but I so do NOT want to forget the things you do that contribute to your cute personality, so again, I am at work writing you a note.
Today Mommie had a wonderful time watching you play with watermelon slices. You lined them up as if they were cars of a train and started to say: "chugga,chugga." It was pretty darn cute! Your fascination with trains is awesome! I am glad you like trains because they are one of my favorite forms of transportation, too. They have a vast and interesting history, and still help with the dispersion of goods across the United States.
Overall, this week has been a busy one. By Sunday the 11th (Patriot Day), Mommie will have worked 7 days straight, with several of them as a learning and growth opportunity in the ER. Why do mention this? Well, I guess it is to point out that persistance and determination are essential but do not always mean an easy route to one's goals. So, it is a positive in life to find ways to progress as you can. We are all on a journey to learn the things that are essential and important for us to know. With that said, remember Son, from the words of the Musical Group Chumbawamba: "I get knocked down But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down..."
Choosing a positive attitude and being kind can take you where you may not think you need to go, but the rewards are interesting and amazing.
Be playful, set goals, have a strong work-ethic, be kind, be positve, have persistance and determination, think outside of the box, be imaginative but most of all always find a way to be playful and keep that Chugga, chugga tune in your heart.
Love Forever and X Infinity,
Mommie.
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!
