An interactive blog!
I have noticed that many a suggestion out in WWW land has been not to use real names. Oops, I messed up on that a little bit. But to start out anew and turn a new leaf, I have decided to use nicknames for my precious little pups.
Until the triplets learned to count (in the correct order mind you), Mr. Plumber Guy and I would talk in code about them using their birth order numbers. What a simple time...then we had to move to spelling things out. Needless to say, that only prolong the conversation and frustrated Mr. Plumber Guy because I am no speller. By the time I got the hang of spelling commonly used words, #3 was asking why I was spelling the word and not just saying it. And what made it so bad is that #3 was asking why we were spelling the word "insert word of choice here" not asking why we were spelling a word. Then we started using code names. That lasted about five seconds before we were both confused and #1 began straightening the story out for us using the real names!
Now we just wait until they are all asleep before we talk. But, by this time Big Daddy is asleep too, having only caught the first two sentences of my story. And you wonder why I set up a blog?
Anyway...I digress. I lean toward the use of baby order numbers but I thought it might be fun to use nick names. Tell me what you think and do the polls!

Little Poot????? Now, I went ahead and voted for that one over a mere number, because why not have a nice descriptive word, but it does make me think of......well, poop! I guess as long as the little guy doesn't mind! If he's as into toilet talk as my littlest one is (and as I am) then maybe he'll REALLY like it!
You know, I find myself occasionally referring to my children by their pseudonyms in real life! "Ibby" really does seem like an Ibby, but I wish I'd called "Mayla" Maysh, which is what I do call her as a nickname.
Best of all is Mr. Plumber Guy! Who are you?
I love your site! Will have to figure out a couple of the code names. Love the sewing site!! How can I buy??? :) The wine lady.
