The Name Game
How do people feel about kids calling their parents by first names? I've always found it a bit odd, a kind of self-conscious "I'm cool" vestige like introducing Mrs. Finch as "this is my partner" instead of "this is Siddartha, my wife."
I ask because lately Sidd Jr. is using my first name. It's pretty random, no telling when he'll say "Sidd, kiss me goodnight" instead of "Daddy" (but never "blow me Daddy," okay???). And it's pretty hard not to laugh when he does it.
Is this a phase? Do I care if it isn't?
Thoughts are welcome. In fact, anything that gets me to stop giggling over Ty's post is welcome.
