#10 On Call Signs...

(or nicknames for the non-military).  Yes, they are annoying and juvenile but it is a sign of respect and acceptance when you get one.  Wear it with pride.

My sweet bebe, you are so wicked cool that you got your call sign while you were in utero.  You may not  appreciate the moniker of "Wood" but it is yours.  I had to stop all the fighter pilots from pouring beer on my belly to properly christen you when you received it.

{For the details on why we call him Wood, see my blog posting on August 14, 09  http://scotchandcupcakes.blogspot.com/2009/08/sex-sonogram.html}
