What We Call Ourselves

I've been kind of wondering how to get through these posts without calling my children by name.  I mean, there are always the worries of stories you see on the news (except for me, as I read my news..no TV) & I don't want my children (especially the teenager) to be jealous  embarrassed  excited that I discuss them & their "moments" for all to read.....so what's a mom to do?  

Well......I started thinking  & decided there were actually like a thousand monikers I could come up with for them.  They love Peter Pan, all things Disney princess, cowboys/cowgirls & Indians (or should I say Native Americans?? )...I had all of these ideas running through my mind.  But I think I came up with my officially official new names.  Please meet:

Belle (her favorite of all princesses~and she really is a book worm, a strong mind, and a fiercely independent girl)

 age 5



Cindy (Cinderella ~ her favorite of all princesses, but I think of her a lil Cindy Lou Who too :)  She is gentle,meek, and soft-hearted)  age 4

Prince Charming (he really truly is~he attracts people everywhere he goes ~ and is favorite character is  Snow White, which would never do for a name!)                  age 2 1/2

John Smith (Pocahontas anyone?  He really is kind, adventurous, and thinks for himself.  And he wrestles & John Smith is the name of a wrestling move :)  Clever, huh?!?)           age 14
