For reasons unbeknownst to me, little 4-year-old Reagan has given 6-month-old Caroline the nickname "little muggard". We had no clue where she heard this, but it sure is funny. Maybe it's because it sounds like "mugger". We even had to look up the word "muggard" because we'd never heard of it.
After we told Reagan that muggard means, "sullen" and "sulky" and "displeased", which hardly descibes our little baby, she still insisted that Caroline is a little muggard! Reagan has been very involved with nicknames for Caroline. When Caroline was newborn, Reagan combined "Caroline" and "Boo-boo" to come up with "Caribou". Another time she observed Caroline's fuzzy head and started calling her "coconut". So, it should come as no surprise that we now have a little muggard in our household. We can't wait to see what nickname Reagan comes up with next.
Out of the mouths of babes!
That is sooo cute! I love how creative Rea is! And, I can't believe she is only 4...
ReplyDeleteI don't know where she got "little muggard", but the thought of her saying it makes it sound adorable! Cariboo and Coconut were cute too.
Reagan: master of nicknaming.
