Last week my 3.5 year old was saying "bye Hiccup" My new boy's name is Jacob. hahahaha!
That's how my dd got her nickname. Her name is Victoria, and one little dcb (2.5) couldn't say that, so he started calling her Tora. She's stuck with it now. Not sure if this is good or bad though. She is 17mos and loves to growl and roar (especially with a particular yellow and purple mitten on her hand
). Found out, fairly recently, that Tora means tiger in Japanese; and was the code word for the attack on Pearl Harbor...
