Dear Reme:
Most of our time together is perfection, but there are some days whereby Mommie can get a bit frazzled. You are such a curious and busy little boy and you don't like to sit still or be confined, so there are times I feel a little like I have hit wits end...today was one of those days.
One minute you were playing -- throwing some of your toys into the bathtub while Mommie was fixing her hair and make-up; the next minute you had taken a bag Mom had intended for garbage and hurled it down the stairs.
Suffice it to say, Mommie was a bit aggravated -- NOT at you but the situation (something in the garbage stained the staircase, and unfortunately, the stains are permanent). I write about this day because I want you to know that no matter what happens, I love you, adore you, cherish you. You are my heart and I am so glad you are my Son. It truly is a priviledge to be your Mom. So, even on days where I tell you "No," or days that you go to time-out or get grounded, just know that the discipline is a necessity to ensure you are a good citizen and that you are loved beyond measure.
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!
