Tuk Tuk and Far Far

Our kids have several nicknames.  Some will stick forever while some are passing nicknames.

Some of Carson's have been:

• Little one (especially before he was born - we didn't know if he was a boy or a girl, so it worked!)
• Little Nutbrown Hair (from the book "Guess How Much I Love You"
• Carson-i (pronounced with a long 'o' and a long 'e'- given by one of his doctors while waiting for his liver transplant)
• Sweet Pea (again, years ago...not exactly cool to call a 9 year old 'Sweet Pea'
• Husker (pronounced 'Hoosker') - this is after a childhood memory game we played 'Husker Du' - the updated version today is just not the same)

Some of Grace's have been:

• Pumpkin (especially two years ago with her reddish hair - it's lightened up so much in two years, but she'll always be 'Pumpkin')
• Gracie (and we giggle each time we say 'say goodnight, Gracie')
• Sweetie (she is our sweetheart)
• Princess (given her affinity for Disney Princesses, this is just a given)
• (Edited after initial posting - thanks, Mom, for reminding me...I was obviously tired)
• Llama, Llama (Grace loves the 'Llama, llama' books.  I'm 'Llama Mama' and she's my little 'Llama, Llama').  If you haven't seen these books, no matter your age, you should check some out.  They can't help but put a smile your face.
• Doo-dah (somewhere there must be Norsk blood flowing through Grace's veins as she is a natural at some of the sayings!  Uff da!  Doo dah!  Fi dah!)

In our hearts, Carson will always be Tuk Tuk (from his toddler years - nicknamed after Nana and Papa Kitch brought back and outfit and book about Tuk Tuks).  Perhaps in a few years we can call him that again.  Not exactly cool right now.

Carson has affectionately given Grace a nickname: Far Far.  It has nothing to do with the fact that we live in the 'Far'go - Moorhead community.  Nope.  Not even close.

Any guesses on where he came up with it?

As Carson explains, when Grace runs (rarely walks) she goes 'far, far'.  (And might I add 'fast, fast'!)

We just love our Tuk Tuk and Far Far.
