My three boys are Grant, Rick and Andrew.

(new, but PP a few pages back)

I'll bet that Rick never goes by anything else.  Your DH hates his given name, Richard, and never, ever wanted to be called Dick.  Your DH was so concerned about teasing potential that he refused, absolutely refused, to bestow this name upon your firstborn.

So, you chose the name Grant for its sincere, plain masculinity and to appease your husband;  Grant won't have a nickname.  When Grant was a toddler, you and your husband called him "G", but your DH stopped calling Grant this and now you are the lone hold out.  To absolutely everyone else in the world, Grant's Grant, but you, Mom, call him G.  Cute.

Back to Rick:  he is most certainly NOT a junior.  Your DH finally caved when you found out you were having a boy; ok, Richard is fine and we'll call him Rick and Rick only.  Never Ricky because he is not a NASCAR driver!  Richard is thrilled to have a namesake, especially since y'all were going to stop with JUST the two boys...

Seven years after you told everyone that Rick was "the caboose"...surprise (sort of).  You wanted another one (secretly, when Rick was about 4) but Richard would freak out at the thought of yet another child.  Money was tight with two boys and Richard has always been conservative/stingy to a fault and overly focused on "saving."  He keeps the budget on a spreadsheet he devised and is constantly tinkering with it (and reminding you that you spend way too much on junk food for the boys) and figuring out ways to save more.  You and your DH fight about money.  A lot.  It's really about control, how he was raised and his fear that he'll make the same mistakes as his dad, God rest his soul.

Your husband is also "one of your boys."

Andrew truly completes your family and you can't imagine not having your three (4!) boys.  [/quote]

Bump!

I realized when I posted this that I somehow highlighted this post and it may have been lost.  How'd I do, Mom?[/quote]
