I think some people are natural baby magnets. When I am around luscious babies, I play it cool. I know eventually they will let me hold or play with them, but I need to be patient. Inside I am not patient. ;)
Oh my goodness. I'm with you. Within about four seconds I want to roll up the baby's sleeve and squeeze the chubby forearms. That's just who I am. But I've learned to play it cool, too. I probably make babies nervous without even knowing it. *makes note to learn self-control before grandchildren arrive*

You're right - nouns do just sort of sit there.
I wish you lived next door to me. I'm a scary religious person but I love talking about parts of speech. ;)

TJ's is better, better, better, BETTER!!!!
It is buttery and delightful.
If I had some right now, I'd slather it with butter and sugar and cinnamon and roll it up and back it and cut it into beensy cinnamon rolls.
That's exactly what I'd do!

I love him. :001_wub:
He should train other children and dispatch them to fast food play places all over the country.

Nice! I could use one like that!
Oh, I do use her! Because I'm visually inept so I just can't remember - visually - where I put things, and I'm so disorganized, mostly, that not everything has its own place. She's also my map-reading navigator when driving. And as for fixing things.....I'm just as mechanically inept as I am visually!
She takes after dh - he's a professional architectural model-builder, a visual-spatial guy all the way.

College police need to be informed. Every time the boy does something, she needs to tell them. The dean of the instructor's department needs to know what is going on.
It is really hard to get rid of a guy like this, but it can be done--it will take a lot of work on her part though. No one else will do it for her.
Yes, yes, yes. Please go above the teacher. A student like this should be placed on probation or have to leave the campus altogether.

I have a husband that always has matching pairs of socks in the laundry and they are never inside out.
I have a child that can find just about anything. She lost her tooth in the couch (by holding it all day) she found it 2 months later. She finds earring backs. Last week she found my lost earring in the garage (I lost it 4 years ago).
Oh my goodness. My middle dd is like this - she can find anything, sort of just by thinking about it. No matter what you've lost, she'll say, "Oh, I just saw that," and she'll go and get it. She can also fix/open/close/adjust any mechanical thing, long after I have completely given up on it. I will have struggled and struggled with it, and she'll take it, look at it for a minute, and *boop!* she's fixed it.

My parents voted in garages for as long as I remember. DH and I voted in the garage of two wonderful ladies who lived down the street from us. One year they gave us one of the cardboard voting booths when they were done with it and our two daughters made it into a time machine that they played with for years.
The two ladies must have moved away, because now we vote in local schools.

Hmmmm...
Since you like Willow, what about another tree name: Linden.
My favorite boy names are Sullivan, Thatcher and Silas. I'm not sure if any of those sound beautiful, though.
-
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Margot, spelled that way especially. But if you're concerned about pronounciation, maybe you could spell it Margo? Your other kids have wonderful names and Margo goes along nicely!
-
Silas?
I like Elijah and Eli, but maybe having an Ellie and and Eli would be too confusing, sound-wise.
Asa?
Eben?
I love your kids names, too. I just love names in general. What could be better on a Saturday morning than a WTM baby name thread?
ETA: I can't believe I left out my 2nd favorite boy name, Thatcher. That would be nice with Emmett and Hyrum. They could all wear overalls and be super-adorable.
-
I LOVE the name Mary for a girl, and Solomon for a boy. Both were vetoed quickly.
I have always loved the name Sarah, but our last name is Sera, so it wasn't happening.
My mom kept teasing us to name DD Kay Sarah...
Believe it or not, I have a friend named Sara who married a man whose last name is Sera. So now she's Sara Ann Sera.
-
I thought it would be really cool to give our kids the middle names; Trouble, or Danger.
But dh said no.
But he no longer remembers saying it. :glare:
So I could have had kids who could honestly say,
Trouble is my middle name!
Or
Danger is my middle name!
I was once talking with a labor and delivery nurse about names she hears in the course of her job. She said the worst ones were twin boys named Thor and Slayer Gomez. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

DH nixed Frances for our dd3, who is Charlotte. I love the name Frances so much that I used it for one of Charlotte's dolls. Bwa ha!
I actually have a whole list of names I love that dh wasn't fond of for our kids, which is one reason I love WTM baby names threads. Maybe someone else's kid will get the name mine would have had. :nopity::D
I do love our girls' names, though, and, to be fair, he agreed immediately to Piper, which was my first choice for dd2.
-
Something to keep in mind - Charlotte is feminine for Charles. So there is the possibility of somewhere someday someone nicknaming her Charlie. Then someone else may decide to shorten Charlie to Chuck or Chuckie.
While I adore my nickname and prefer it over my given name (which is an alternate form of feminine for Charles), not everyone will want their daughter known as Charlie or Chuck.
Of course this could be all for naught and you've already decided to nickname her Lottie.
So far we haven't called our Charlotte any of the obvious nicknames. But there's a woman who comes to our library storytime whose daughter is named "Charlie Grace." I asked her if "Charlie" was short for "Charlotte" (because despite its apparent popularity, I've not met another young Charlotte) and she looked at me like I was nuts! "No, it's Charlie."

I try to ignore the government whenever possible and this seems like an excellent opportunity! ;)
Why must you live so far away from me? Can you please come west? :D
-
That... can't say it any better. Not everyone will try to be kind and not hurt her feelings.... KWIM? You did the right thing.
:iagree: If you want to be a writer, you have to let your work be read. That's all there is to it.
-
What do you think of Josephine for the middle name?
And since you like Autumn, do you also like Audrey?
Audrey Josephine Goodwin.
Yes. That's it! :D
-
Harper Jolene (Harper Jo), ...
... but with the disclaimer that I've had Dolly Parton on for most of the day so that's where my mind is :D.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Joleeeeeeeene.....
Darn it. Now it's in my head, too. :tongue_smilie:
Harper Jo is great, though.
-
The cheeks alone! No wonder!
-
Oooh, here's another J name I love - Jessamyn.
Charlotte Jessamyn.
Harper Jessamyn.
Liberty Jessamyn.
Autumn Jessamyn....mmmmm, not so much. Because then you'd have Autumn Jessamyn Goodwin and that's too many "n" sounds.
I might be a teensy bit obsessed with names. Maybe.:D
-
Hey, I was going to say Charlotte! ;) We have a Charlotte. And Charlotte JoAnne is very pretty.
Of your list, I love Charlotte (of course), Harper and Autumn.
And I haven't read the thread, but I hope someone besides me has mentioned Jane as a possible middle name. I love the name Jane!
Harper Jane?
Awwww, now I'm jealous! Three girls just aren't enough. Big congratulations!
ETA: Now that I've read the thread, I see the poster above me suggested Jane. I like Janey, too.

My oldest dd used Vocabu-Lit for a couple of years in elementary school and we really liked it. Lots of variety and really excellent words.
-
I wish I could reach through the computer screen and squeeze, gently!, his little arms.
Forget gentle! I want to bite 'em! What a doll he is!
I'm that weird lady who's obsessed with baby wrists and forearms. You'll forgive me, right? :tongue_smilie:
So, remember my "friend"??

Wait. Wait. She told this woman that her husband must be a *pedophile* because he drives a white van? :blink:
A woman who speaks this way to "a friend" could not move away fast enough.
