Hey Hon

Hannah has gone through a couple of different names for me in her lifetime. The first one is "Mama"...that lasted for quite a while. Until about 6 months she did great with that name. Then out of nowhere she started getting "formal" with me and calling me "Mom". I was a little hurt by that considering she calls her dad, "Daddy" or Dada" all the time... Then she started calling me, "mommy" and I was very happy with that. And hoped that lasted a long time. It is an endearing way to get my attention as opposed to hearing "Mom!" There is just something negative about that. Maybe I am sensitive.

A week or so ago we were bead shopping at the craft store and she said, "look, hon". It caught me off guard but kept repeating it and I finally got it that she was calling me, "hon".

Where did she get that from??? I always call Jon, "Hon" or "Honey". Of course, when I am not having warm and fuzzy feelings towards him, I call him, "Jon". So, now I am "Hon" to my little 2 year old. I like it...it's cute...I hope that stays awhile.
