These are the nicknames bestowed upon my children by their favorite (and only) Aunt Kathleen. Boy, Trevor's going to be upset when he finds out which one he is.
Sophie Grace- The Bully- I can't disagree. She's feisty and mean. Anyone who's heard Victoria stories probably would never have guessed she would become the victim of a younger siblings violent tendencies. Sophie is contantly pushing, scratching, and pinching her. And what does she do in defense? She runs away screaming. And forget about anyone else sitting in my lap. Sophie immediately comes over screaming at them, pointing in their face, and pushes them out or pinches them until they leave. Don't get me wrong, I adore the fact that this child loves me that much, but I sure hope she grows out of this stage with no permanent injuries to her siblings.
Victoria- The Boss- Middle children end up one of two things- totally forgotten in the mix or the center of attention. Victoria naturally has become the latter. She refuses to be ignored or stifled, which is both endearing and frustrating. She won't take "no" for an answer, and she makes her own rules. Much like her namesake Queen, she commands her subjects, and we are but pawns in her kingdom.
Trevor- The Baby Vagina- Before anyone is accused of emotionally abusing my son, know that this nickname was actually given by his sister, The Boss. They were arguing in the car one day, and it just came out. Then, like the showman she is, she put it to music- "Baby Vagina sittin' in a tree." I, of course, couldn't hold back my laughter, offending Trevor beyond belief. For one, the words "baby vagina" are particularly hysterical when put together and coming out of a 4-year-old's mouth. For another, that crude depitction of Trevor's personality couldn't be more dead on. He is the sweetest most intelligent child. He is also the most sensitive little boy I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. His sensitivity is an asset and a liability, in that he is empathetic to all creatures, but he is forever getting his feelings hurt. He will make a wonderful browbeaten husband one day.
