So we have been trying to get my three year old Natasha to learn her new baby 'brother's name. Ma-th-ai-is. Say it again. Finally after pronouncing it Matt-Tai-is and being corrected too many times, she looks at me and states "no, Mommy. Matt-tai-is is an ucky name. No ucky name for the baby." Every time I say his name she will yell from the other room "Mommy! don't say that word! It's an ucky name!" She is trying to call him Tai for short, when I call him Matt. I think she's gonna win on this one though, cause everyone else in the house calls him Tai for short. And according to my German mother-in-law (how awsome to have a German dog for a son when I married a German man!) Tai is considered an acceptable nickname for Matthias. *sigh* So much for calling him Matt or Mattie. Although I still do.
Guess my nickname for him will be a special mommy-son thing.
Anyway, thought I would tell you about our in-house ucky name/word monitor.
