Punchkin??

Punchkin /puhnch'kin/
Noun

1. The term of endearment used when a tired mommy's brain cannot decide whether she is trying to call her child a "little pumpkin" or a "little munchkin."

Ex. Hey there my sweet punchkin! Mommy missed you today!!

(Yes, I actually called my kid this the other day. Oops.)

What silly names have you called your kids or what silly things have you done?

I called DD handsome the other day...guess I got her confused with DS. Oops!

H calls V "booger boy" and has now shortened it to "boogs". I have accidentally called him by the dog's name a couple times.

My H calls Z booger too. Now he usually calls him "boogie" or "boogery butt."
I always laugh at the songs I come up with throughout the day. Z is usually happy if I'm singing, so I've come up with some creative songs. Themes include, but aren't limited to, loading the dishwasher, changing his diaper, and wiping his nose. Good stuff.

He's been called the cat's name a few times... once before we even left the hospital. Otherwise nothing too strange yet!

I'm already that mom that has to go through a list of names before I get to the right one. I often call DS by my H or my brother's name, I have called my H by DS's name, and even called DD by DS's name the other day. Oy.

Haha. Which reminds me...sometimes when trying to catch M's attention, DH will go "ks ks ks" like to our cats

Punkadoodle. Same idea, just mixing pumpkin and snicker doodle. I don't know why, but I kinda like it and have used it regularly....

I keep saying that we need to call the vet instead of pediatrician.

I've accidentally started calling B stinky. I feel bad, but it's fitting sometimes!!he is gassy!

[wegrowsheep]

I refer to him as "her" when I'm half asleep during MOTN wake ups. Like, since day 1. Poor boy. I also call him "Buppy."

DD (who is the oldest) got called by my dog's name quite often, and vice versa, especially once she started moving.

We call little one "bald puppy" sometimes when he cries because of the picture circulating facebook of the dog looking at the crying baby with the caption "why you so sad ugly bald puppy".

[ravinraven216]

Our pets have people names so it's only a matter of time before we confuse DS and the cat.

As my dad always says, "I don't need to know your name, I just have to be able to pick you out in a line up."

+1 for calling him by the dog's name which happens mostly when I'm frustrated with him when he's playing while eating.

I call him many things that end in Bug-LoveBug, DoodleBug, SnuggleBug, JuneBug or just Bug.
Also Fussy Gussy, StinkPot, and Bucko.

[kimberlyandthor2014]

gilder40 I've actually used that same combined word! Mostly with DD, but yeah, punchkin just comes flying out lol. Whoops! Muffin and nugget come out as mugget at times too.
