nicknames

I wonder what it is that causes us (just moms?) to call their little ones by a crazy assortment of nicknames. Me anyway. In addition to the "standard" ones (beautiful, cutie, sweetie, princess, etc.) a lot of them related to food. Some I have used:

• Peanut Butter cup
• Crabby Patty
• Booger
• Cranky Pants
• Crazy Hair
• Sweet Potato
• Pumpkin Butter
• Cutie Patootie
• Jelly Bean
• Snorty Snorterson (she inherited the snort laughing from grandma Pyle, thanks grandma!)
