What's Your Name Again?

I used to wonder how people could stop calling each other by their first names when they became parents, but now I get it. You're so happy that you're in this new role, that you want to reinforce the feeling of really being a Mommy or Daddy by calling each other by these new names. I tell Lily, "Let's go see Daddy," or I just talk to John, addressing him as the new fantastic Dad he is, "How are you doin', Daddy?" or sometimes I get really sickening and address him in the third person in very small words and clipped sentences, "Daddy is tired?" Disgusting, I know. Go ahead and roll your eyes, cuz we're lovin' it.
