I have a lot of nicknames for Joe - Bo, Ho Ho, Boss Man, mojo jojo - to name a few. One of my favorites though is "Snickerdoodle". There are 2 reasons I call him this. The first is quite obvious: His favorite cookies are snickerdoodles (and he's sweet like a snickerdoodle). The second reason I call him this is because of the sprinkling of light brown freckles across his nose and cheeks. It reminds me of the cinnamon sprinkled on the top of a snickerdoodle cookie. This is one of his oldest nicknames. I've been calling him this since he was about 2 or 3. He's 11 now and I'm sure he would like me to retire this nickname, but I can't help it. As long as he has that sprinkling of freckles, he will always be my snickerdoodle.
Here is a close up shot of his cinnamon sprinkles.
He actually earned another nickname this weekend: ED. It stands for: Easily Distracted. Sometimes, to motivate him to go faster, I call him "Special Ed." Am I mean or what? It's ok. He knows I love him
Do you have any nicknames for your kids?

Hahah... love those freckles.
Here are our nick-names:
"Hana Banana" (obviously)
Ethan doesn't really have one, except we call him "Buddy" a lot. Occasionally "X" for his middle name (Exavier), but not so much.
Oran - "Fro-Bro" because his hair is crazy curly. The kids sometimes call him "Orange"
Kael - "K-Lo" is the only one I can think of that we use. Rich's dad calls him "Little Quman", because Kael always says "Hi, Big Human" to grandpa.
What great pics. I actually have tried to make a special effort to call Jack by his name because it occured to me that he might never learn it otherwise since I call him so many things: Happiness, Buddha Baby, Babykins, BabyMamaJamma, I could go on and on.
Yes, Kim that is mean. Hey, you asked!
I call Evan Crazy Man or Ev.
I call Ben Chatty Cathi or Drama.
I don't have one for Xander or Max.
