There is always something funny coming out of Daniel's mouth; you never know what he will say next. John says that he reminds him of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbs, except that Daniel doesn't get into trouble like Calvin did. But his imagination is amazing! Last week, I had this conversation with Daniel about "the baby in my tummy."D: How will the baby come out?
M: The doctor will take him out. (We don't feel that a three year old needs all the gory details.)
D: I have a baby in my tummy.
M: You do?
D: Yeah!
M: How will he come out?
D: (drawing a line with his finger from his belly button to his chin) Out my nose!
Daniel also loves to make up new names for himself. There's a new one almost everyday. At first, he wanted to be called Spiderman. (His swim diapers from last year have Spiderman on them; no, we haven't let our children watch the movie.) One day, it was Bug Eater. When I asked why, he said because he eats bugs and termites. Then it was Hot Dog Man because he eats hot dogs and termites. Sarah Beth started calling him Punkin yesterday, and he enjoyed that for a while. Last night right before bed, he decided his name was Light Switch Man because he fixes light switches. Oh, dear! How will I ever keep up with all of these names?
Do any of your children change their names? What do they change them to? And how do you keep up?

Good morning!! How funny :)
Sophie likes to be called "Super Silly Sophie" because Daddy calls her that. Bella is "Bella Bear" and will probably be that until she leaves for college!!
Aurie, those names are cute! We have fun nicknames like those for our children, too!
How funny! I also would have a hard time remembering all those names too! LOL
That's one of the things I love about that age..the sky is the limit as far as their imagination goes! And it sounds like he has a very active one. Fun times :)
