Re: Say It Again...Say Anything.
Hopefully since he's asking about it he'll see it as a priviledge and it will be a smooth transition.
I also get so excited when I see other people have been successful at keeping their toddler in the crib that long. I am dreading moving Cason so I'm just going to put it off as long as I can.
When Abby decided she wanted to sleep in the toddler bed we had no issues.
Of course currently I wish she was still in it!
Crazy Christmas Kids!
All dressed up and nowhere to go! :-/
I was going to take DD to work today to let them meet her, but I didn't know it was supposed to get so nasty stormy today, and now i don't want to chance getting caught in it on the way home.
It's pretty rare for me to get dressed with full makeup on (while on maternity leave) - so I feel like it was a waste! lol.
would you notice and think it was weird if two of our kids name ended in -son?
obviously we have Addison (often called Addie). If the twins were something like Benson and Henry (maybe with a nn for Benson but not the other) would you think it was odd to have one non -son name? I didn't notice for years that two/3 of me and my siblings have C names and I don't think my sister cares. But I wonder if being the only non -son with no nickname would be annoying.
Those aren't real names we're considering, but the issue came up. We're having such a hard time with names!

I kept Alex in the crib until 3 as well. It was just easier to talk to them about staying in bed the older they are.
Foster did great last night. I did tell him that if he gets up we will go back to the crib! So this morning I went in his room at 7 because he wasn't up yet. He was sitting on his bed and said "Can I stand up now?? See, I stayed in bed. I don't need a crib!" lol
I don't think having/not having a nn is a big deal, but I wouldn't have one kid not end in -son. But that's me, and I'm super weird about names and tend to over think every aspect of naming a baby, so take that for what it's worth
I don't think i'd let that stop me, especially since Addie doesn't go by Addison.
I sort of had the same dilemma naming Claire because if we have a 3rd, I don't want to be locked into having three C's. I decided I'd deal with that when/if the time came and that while there could be "hurt feelings" i'm sure the 3rd would not be scarred for life if not a C name.
Well hopefully the baby doesn't puke on you and you can be all fancy when DH gets home
I know I don't post very often, but I had to get this out.
My hairdresser is the one that was killed last week in his Montrose studio/home. It is very sad. He was a very sweet guy and will be greatly missed. He gave DD her first haircut and helped me with my hair for my wedding.
RIP Scott.
see i didn't overthink Addie's name, it was just what we agreed on. And it bugs me that it was so popular all of a sudden. I'm more paranoid this time, like Declan has been a fav of mine since I was a teen but it's #1 trending name. DH is not paranoid, he feels like we have a couple names we mostly like so we're done.
I hate that there are so many -den's. It made me super paranoid about naming B. If this baby is a boy Declan is the only boy name we have left that we agree on, but it's getting so popular that I have second thoughts. I think if this is a boy, we're going to steal a page from Odear and name him Third Baby and call it a day
DH doesn't really have an opinion until I decide on something and then usually he disagrees.
Naming a baby is so hard. I don't envy you having to decide on two names at once.
3rd Dog would be honored
I love it!!!
Many prayers it works out.
Ashley at Hiring Source 713-623-0400 has been super helpful in my search. Filing unemp. really is not that difficult it all can be done online.
I didn't hear about that, but how sad.
Your -den has been around a while. It is a friend of mine's middle name, and he named his little boy that as well. It's not like the ones lately where people are just putting a new consonant in front of -aden to make up a new name. Taden, for example, that I saw on either 2nd tri or the May board. I think if this is a boy I'll name this one Maden. Maden China. Or does that sound too girlish? Maybe that would work for a girl.
I think a lot of people around here end up using the name Trey for third babies, even when it's not a nickname for the III (as in after Jr).
and I thought two would be easier! I figured we'd have two names to decide between and we'd get to use both. I wonder, do you think you need to LOVE both names? or do most people love one and know it's right and settle with the other one?
You're the first person that's ever said that, I think most people assume I made it up. I actually had a client (a man in his mid 60's of Scottish descent) whose name was Grayden, that's where I got it from.
You just made my day
ETA: Maden China.. I like it. It has a nice ring to it. Very exotic
Hah! I was just about to tell Kimmer to name him Trey. There Kim, you're done, you're welcome.
AP- I don't like matchy names because I don't like feeling like I rhyme or get tongue twisted when I say them so I would probably avoid another -son name completely. But if you seldom refer to Addie as Addison then having one of the twins be -son wouldn't bother me, all three with -son names is too matchy for me.
If we have another boy we're in trouble because all the other boy names we can agree on are -er names. Tyler, Walker, Tucker etc. but when said together with Cooper I don't like them anymore. Having the same initial consonant doesn't bother me as much so long as the names have a different sound.
Melrrr-that was the May board. where everything starts off with "I heard..." followed by the most random made up sh!t that someone told whichever FTM it is.
and the baby name board! I think they like 1 in 100 names. I get that people post some crappy names, but when they tell someone the name is too trendy they perfer Archer or Asher because they're unusual I think how many I know popping up in the last 6 months. "Look we're all unique together!" (and I like both those names btw).
Those girls are brutal over there. And I completely agree with everything you said. They hate everything except the unique trendy names and then blast somebody for picking something like Avery or Madison, which are both nice names IMO.
on a totally different subject, I think Anna Farris is pretty damn funny. I rented "what's your number?" and it's nothing stellar but she is funny.
I watched that on the plane! She really is funny. Good movie.
As for rhyming names, I went to high school with a girl named Annette, whose siblings were Paulette, Suzette, and Tom. (at least Tom got a break.)
