Grant's Blogging Debut

My mom says I've been tagged by Dante to tell you 8 random things about myself.  There's not much about me you don't know from my mom, so I think I will tell you 8 names I answer to around here. 

1.  Johnny G  - (my first name is Jonathan) This is what my mom calls me when she can't get my attention by saying "Grant."  I like to make mom say my name by doing things like standing on the back of the couch or balancing on the seat of the potty or my personal favorite, climbing into the refrigerator and trying to close the door.  The point is, she says "Grant" so much that sometimes I just stop hearing it.  If she switches to "Johnny G" sometimes I hear her again.

2.  Mr. Stinky-stinker-pants - I bet you can guess when she calls me that.  It has to do with stinky pants.

3.  Grant-potato, or potato-baby - I'm not sure why she calls me that.  She says it when she's smiling, so I know it doesn't mean I'm in trouble.  It's kind of embarrassing when we're around other people, though.  If she calls me that in front of other people, I smile and run away from her.

4.  Lil' Bubba - Grayson is the one who calls me that.  He's so great, I would let him call me anything.  He plays with me a lot even though I'm smaller, and even though I sometimes make him mad on purpose.  It's just so fun to watch people get mad sometimes.  It makes me giggle.

5.  Daddy's Boy - Only Daddy calls me that.  I love it when he does, because mommy pretends to cry.  Then I run to her and kiss her and say "Mommy's Boy!"  And then Daddy cries and I run to him... Get the picture?  It's a fun game, cause everyone is looking at me.

6.  Bull - My Dado calls me bull.  Usually he is laughing when he says it.  He mostly calls me that when I stand up for what I want (by crying, bossing, stamping my foot) until I get it.  Then he tells my mom I am "one bull headed young 'un."  Whatever that means.  It must be a good thing, because he laughs when he says it.

7.  Copper-dog - This one was my idea.  If I am crawling around the house and making puppy sounds, I won't listen unless they call me Copper-dog.  I really like it when momma gives me food and water in a bowl so I can eat like Copper-dog, too.

8.  JONATHAN GRANT KEITH - If I hear that one, I usually run and hide. Or work up a good cry.  It usually means I did something really sneaky,  and I better find my extra cute face and put it on quick!

So, now you know 8 random things about me.  Blogging is fun, I think I'll have one when I get as big as Grayson.  Now I have to tag some people... hmm.. How about Sparky and Zach and Adelaide.  I'm supposed to tag more, but the other blog babies I know have done it already!

Thanks for playing along, Grant! I like the game of Mommy´s boy, Daddy´s boy, we used to play a similar one with my baby sister (12 years younger) called, "My baby".

I´d grab her shoulders, someone else would grab her feet and we´d tug her back and forth saying, "She´s MY baby." "No, she´s MY baby!"

i can relate to copper-dog, grant. I was kitty, puppy, and on occasion, a beautiful mermaid who couldn't leave the baby pool!
