A Nickname for Logan

Every now and then Logan decides that he wants a new name. It's usually something like "Spiderman" or "Superman" or "Puppy Dog" depending upon what he's into playing with at the time. We humor him and call him whatever he wants. What's the harm? Logan's newest nickname; however, this is one for the books. He came up to me the other night while I was sitting on the sofa and said "Mommy, can you call me a different name?" Of course I assured him that it would be no problem and asked him what name he would like to be called. His response? "Buck Wild"...seriously! So, for the past few days, my sweet little boy has gone by the name Buck Wild.

When he first told me this name, I sat there in disbelief for a moment, then bust into laughter, which ended with a few tears. I finally pulled myself together enough to ask him where he had ever heard of such a name. (After all, I was sitting there wondering what kind of television shows his Dad was allowing him to watch when I wasn't home.) He politely reminded me "It's the weasel's name on Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs". What a character to emulate!
