Heard in Our House

"Hey, Baby." me, to our 9yo boy

"Well, I'm not really a baby, but I guess it's okay if your mom calls you that." 9yo

Aren't they cute? I can totally relate, except mine, which will be 9 on 3/26, says, "I'm not a baby" and I say, "you're MY baby and you will ALWAYS be MY baby", he says, "why do I have to be the youngest, I don't want to be the youngest", then I say, "sorry but someone has to be the youngest and you are my baby and always will be"...we go back and forth...he is MY baby!

My babies balk at being called that. I called my kid brother my baby brother until he was in his twenties, though. Loved your magnolia post, but sadly only have time to comment in one place today.

Whoops, not magnolias, that other tree, but you did mention magnolias. I may need a brain transplant!

Mom...shh, don't tell

Kami - you'll always win that argument!

Karin - My baby brother is STILL my BABY brother. I call him "Liklik", which means "Little" in Melanesian Pidgin. I don't like his choice of words back to me, though. He calls me "Bikpela" (Big)!!
