He calls me "amoof" sometimes now. It's funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-257741 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 07:32:38 +0000 Andrea 257741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: @808love: DD recently learned how to call us "honey" as well!

He heard everyone else call him that so he started doing it too and it just stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-232344 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:50:12 +0000 cyndistar3 232344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo knows our names but knows better than to call us by them lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-232339 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:48:35 +0000 Mommy Finger 232339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youngest niece would call her mom Miss Erin for awhile. I'm guessing that's b/c that's what all of the neighborhood kids call her. It didn't last long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-232327 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:45:17 +0000 banana 232327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: OMG that's funny. I wonder if my son will do that too. That would be WEIRD though. hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-232189 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 10:58:53 +0000 Honeybee 232189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really surprised me the other day when DD mentioned my first name; I didn't think she knew it! She doesn't know DH's name, though sometimes she calls him "honey." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231979 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:17:17 +0000 Andrea 231979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: that's a good point. She also knows her full name now so I thought that was good in case she gets lost. That in combination with our names could be of some help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231978 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:16:55 +0000 chopsuey 231978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: ohhhh. lol. i guess we'll make our friends call us umma and appa too then. kidding! </p> <p>sounds like all kids go through a stage of calling their parents by their names. ::D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231975 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:16:10 +0000 Maysprout 231975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She calls me mama or by the first half of my name. She usually says mama when she wants something but if she sees me from a far or wants to find me she usually calls out to me by name. Silly girl. She doesn't really say too many words yet so maybe it will change once she starts talking more? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231974 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:14:33 +0000 Andrea 231974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: but what about other people? She hears other people calling us by our names all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231969 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:12:21 +0000 chopsuey 231969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. DH and I call each other umma and appa! So don't think LO will be calling us by our names :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231908 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:53:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 231908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie has been calling me bee for a long time because he hears mr. bee doing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231898 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:50:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 231898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece will yell 'Billie stop it" at her dad when he teases her and I think it's because she hears my sister do it when he is messing with her. The first time I laughed so hard, now we can't since they are trying to break her of the habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231896 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:50:27 +0000 autumnlove 231896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwwh, that sounds so grown up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231890 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:45:17 +0000 looch 231890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read somewhere that your kids should know your first name, esp. if they get separated from you and need to find you. </p> <p>I wonder if this is why parents go around calling each other Mom and Dad? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231832 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 07:46:46 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 231832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my... Mavrick just started calling me Kelly. We realized that a while back he was saying Maaaaaaar for Marc (my husbands name) we thought he was calling both Dh and I mama. Nope, he's using our first names. But that's because he hears us saying our names. I hope it passes soon. Me don't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-call-you-by-your-name#post-231825 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 07:38:14 +0000 Andrea 231825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD keeps calling me Andrea lately. Grrrrr... they grow up too fast! </p>
