Names

Henry said his name today, "Henny."  He's been calling himself "baby" or "boy" when he sees himself in the mirror or in a photo, but today was the first time he's tried to say Henry.  At dinner, he called himself "Buddy;" I had to laugh.  I probably don't realize how often I call him "Buddy."  I can't help it.  I love little pet names.  (In my family, we have many nicknames-- many of them are nonsensical and all of them are unrelated to our actual names.)
