As I sit here waiting on my little one to wake up it occurred to me just how many names he has. Of course he has his birth name and we do use it,but we also have a lot of pet names for him, which he will respond to, and other ways of referring to him.
Take this for example, when he wakes up from his nap, I can almost guarantee that I will say something along the lines of "Hello, gorgeous, did you enjoy your nap?" When he sees his dad, he will probably call him"mate", as in, "Hello mate!" and start trying to play with him. The way his dad and I refer to him is very different and is probably more about our language and communication styles.
Then we have pet names. I can't even tell you where they all came from, how they all started, but each and everyone of them makes me smile, especially when he recognises them as him.
The first one was probably by my lovely mate who took his initials and called him Ogl. Sometimes we vary it and he has Ogl Sprogl. The most frequently used is "Poo", and many variations of this. We also have Oscasaurus as a result of a gift from his Nanny and that just stuck.
Before he was born, he was Wrigglebum, and that has stuck, he's still a wrigglebum now and can't sit still for more than 2 minutes.
His dad has a number of other things he uses but they're not very polite so I won't repeat them here - ha ha!
