Sometimes I call kids Kinder Liebeschön (German Kinder= Child; Liebeschön= Love/Lovely; roughly means 'Lovey Child') or sometimes Kinder Strudel (roughly translates to "Sweet Child"). I'm not German, but I thought they sound cute and kids think it sounds funny (and your kinda teaching them another language too).
