Endearing Names

Since our grandson, Maycin, came into this world I have always called him "Bug-a-boo." There are all kinds of endearing names to use with your loved ones...honey bunny, sweety-pie, pookie, ...when Cliff and I were courting, his was "Cowboy" and mine was "Slim"...okay, don't go there people, Cliff and I know all too well, we are far apart from those endearing names today. But, let's get back to "Bug-a-boo." After Ashlee and Maycin's short visit yesterday, it was our ritual good-byes, with "love you" attached at the end. As Maycin rounded the corner of the garage, he yelled back to me with the surprising "love you, Bug-a-boo!" I had to chuckle but was absolutely delighted that he has been taught to give endearing names to those he loves.
