Little Bug is just one of the nicknames we have for our son. We also call him Shea Bug and Love Bug. He got the nickname Love Bug in an interesting way. For about the first year of his life, he would cry for extended periods of time for no apparent reason. Looking back now, its easy to see that they were sensory issues that as novice parents who had never heard of SID and had no fracking clue what was going on we missed. At the time, the best way to calm him down was to turn up the stereo as loud as possible and dance. The vibrations seemed to calm him down. His favorite tunes? Imagine- John Lennon, All You Need is Love and Blackbird- the Beatles, Maybe I'm Amazed- Paul McCartney, Somewhere over the Rainbow- Iz. Punk and emo worked too, but not as well.
One thing that DN and I have waited for is to hear/see I love you from Little Bug. DN and Little Bug were getting ready to leave, and I blew Little Bug a kiss and told him I loved him- both with speech and sign. He signed I love you to me! It brought tears to my eyes and all I could is smile.
I love you Little Bug- these are for you:
