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!

Chugga, Chugga...

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.
