What's in a Name???

So, for some time, I have been wanting to rename my kids. No, not in real life, but here on my blog...in cyberworld. I think Big Sis and Baby Boy are OK, but they don't tell you anything about my children...so...Please let me introduce you to my two children...

Jewel...



I choose Jewel because Big Sis (now to be know exclusively as Jewel) loves all things sparkly. When she made her Christmas List last year for Santa, she asked for a jewel. Any old jewel...anything big and sparkly. At the Hobby Lobby near my house, Jewel has found a large piece of cut glass that resembels a large pink diamond. It is now her greatest wish and desire to have said jewel...thus, her new pseudonym could be none other than, Jewel.


And Alfredo...


Baby Boy's favorite treat at the moment is dry fettuccine. Yes...you read that right...he likes DRY fettuccine! Seriously...I have to try so hard not to laugh when Baby Boy/Alfredo sneaks quietly to the pantry, opens the door without a sound and quickly absconds with a nice piece of fettuccine to take to his room. I generally wait a moment or two before I open the closed door of his hiding place. Whereupon, his cute little hand shoots to his mouth to cover up the offending traces of pasta - only to be given away by the distinct crunching emanating from between his teeth. Because I don't want to be typing Fettuccine every time I want to mention him, I decided to go for fettuccine's perfect companion, the yummy sauce known as: Alfredo.


What do you think of my kids new aliases???
