Snookums

Friday night Bryon and I went on a 'date.' We took the kids to a parents' night out at our church and went out to dinner. A couple of hours later when we picked them up, I greeted them with my typical "Hello Babies!"

"I'm not a baby," Sam insisted.

"No, you're right. But 'baby' is a term of endearment. That means it's a nickname you call someone you love."

"Like Noodle?" he asked. (Noodle is one of our nicknames for Sam.)

"Yes, exactly. Like I call Jake 'Bubby' or Daddy calls me 'Snappy.'" (Not so much a term of endearment I realize.)

"Oh!" Sam said. "So, they're LOVE words."

I couldn't have said it better.
