Terms of Endearment

Dear Isaac,

You are a big boy.  I am quite aware of this, because you always respond to any label** I give you by telling me, "I'm not a _______________!  I'm a big boy!" 

I'm sorry that not everyone knows you are a big boy.  I'm sure the crossing guard doesn't really mean it when she calls you a baby every morning.  She just doesn't know your name.  You need not scream at her, like you did this morning, "I'm NOT A BABY!!! I'm A BIG BOY!!!!"  I don't think she heard you anyway, so I bet you'll be "baby" again tomorrow.

Love,

Mommy

**Offensive labels include but are not limited to:  sweetheart, smartie, and great helper.
