Daddy's Name Is...

Scott and I talk sometimes about how rarely we actually use each other's given names. We have each acquired a short list of favorite pet names, and now with kids we most often go by "Mommy" and "Daddy". Livvy, however, has recently become a bit preoccupied by what our "real" names are. She hears mine often enough at play-dates and such to know what it is. And every once in awhile she tries to use it (just to get a reaction I am sure). But today over lunch she asked, "What's Daddy's name?" So I said, "Well, Daddy's name is Scott. But you can just call him Daddy." She thought that through for a few seconds and then replied, "Daddy's name is Babe." I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of lunch.
