Before she left, Nonnie bought Jonas an adorable onesie that says "My First Halloween" and came with a pumpkin cap. Jonas decided to try on the cap today, and his father was inspired to wear his own. Why do they have such similar wardrobes?
While here, Nonnie illustrated an impressive array of endearments for the baby, including:
- Booba
- Sweet Little Boy
- Tiny Little Boy
- Angel Baby
- Sugar Bee
- Sweet Baby
- Turkey Bird
- Tiny Whiney
- Sugar Baby
- Tootsie Wootsie
- Warm Bear
- Honey Bun
- Monkey
Not to mention the requisite "cher bebe" that every Cajun grandmere resorts to. My personal favorites are these:
- Love Boat
- Sugar Booger
Not sure where she got those, but aren't they fun?
By comparison, Ed and I have a dismally short list:
- Son
- Little Boy
- Love
- Boo Boo
Pretty unimaginative, huh?
Speaking of imaginative lingo, there are tornado watches here at the moment, and the meteorologists are whipping themselves into a frenzy, using terms like "rain wrapped tornado" and "dark wad of scud clouds." This is the land of "thunder snow" after all. My theory is that they have a serious case of hurricane envy.
And speaking of that, please keep your fingers crossed and your prayers offered for our friends in Texas! Go home Ike!
