baby and honey


when i talk to hayden, i always refer to him as "baby", or "baby pie". this morning, as he was putting my mousse in his hair, i said, "baby, when youre done 'styling' your hair, go wash your sticky hands off". he says, "mommie, why do you call me 'baby'? i said "well...its a nickname. youre a big boy, but youre still my baby, so i call you 'baby' in a loving way". he says, "but why do you call me baby?" he obviously didnt 'get' my reasoning, (and understandably so.) so i asked him, "what does mommie call daddie?"
him: "dan"
me: "what else?"
him: "daniel"
me: "no. what else does mommie call daddie?"
him: (laughing), "i dont know"
me: "baby, does mommie call daddie "honey"?
him: (giggling) "yeah.....honey"
me: "yes...i call daddie "honey" even tho his real name is dan.
him: "so then why do you call him honey?"
me: "i call you 'baby' as a nickname, even tho youre not a baby anymore, and i call daddie 'honey', as a nickname, even if i dont pour him in tea".
him: just laughing and laughing.

kind of a stupid story, but he thought it was just hysterical.
