My day, has officially, been made!

My lil nephew, H, is only 3 years old and he's always struggled to pronounce my name.  I've been "Auntie Amananana" since he started talking.  H went over to Steve's parents today and apparently H compared Uncle Steve to the children's TV character, Dougie and I'm now, as of this afternoon, "Auntie Banana"!!   

As of now, my day has officially been made and it didn't cost anyone a penny!

This is just a glimpse of why toddlers have always been my favourite age group and it's times like this that I'm grateful for a difficult to pronounce name!

Children are amazing and have a natural ability to make your day.

They do indeed.  I can't wait to see lil H next time to see if he says it to me in person!

My two nieces (my sister's children) always called me Auntie Pippa which was mutually aggreed but the youngest wanted to call me by my name so it came out Auntie Phi-ippa.  She got there eventually but she sounded so cute.

Yep, same with H.  I thought the extension to my name was cute but being given the name of a piece of fruit is just... brilliant!  lol
