mr. shnookums aka mr. binky

mr. shnookums aka mr. binky ♥♥♥♥

yes, my little shnookums has many nicknames, shnookums being #1 because I started calling him that in his very first hours of joining me in the outside world….and he KNOWS that he is mr. shnookums and smiles very big when you call him that (or when mommy calls him that)….but he is also known as kai-A-licious, sweety kai, mr. hoops, & puffy cheeks (these are all mommy names- but Shnookums by far is the most popular, that and mr. binky) now daycare has their own names for shnookums too – they call him kaiser & kai-kai, it will be a wonder if shnookums will actually know who he is when he grows up….lol…and let’s face it - I will be calling him mr. shnookums, mr. shnookums when he is 30 - married with kids..etc...

now mr. binky is the endearing name given to him by his grammy and his uncle pickle juice (yes uncle pickle juice has a nickname too – but that is another story…lol) the reason behind this name, mr. binky, is that shnookums aka mr. binky ALWAYS has a binky ON him, IN his mouth, or NEAR him some where ….ALWAYS. (we even sleep with binkies, many times mommy has awaken with binkies stuck to her back, arms and legs– trust me on this one, a bed of binkies is not really all that comfortable...lol...). mr. shnookums has had a binky ever since he was a day old, he has all colors too (because my mommy is totally quirky and likes to color cordinate EVERYTHING- yes even mr. shnookum’s binkies)……yeaaaaa….yeaaaaa...you are looking at mommy funny....but me and mr. binky are looking back at you like, “yea…..so?” –shrug n’ our shoulders….

anyway…..mr. binky is very good with the binky too….he holds it upside down or sideways to chew on it (he chews because he is teething, or at least I think this is why he does that, he might have a different version of this story to tell you later on), and then he turns it around the right way to suck on it. now mr. binky is not needy with his binkies, in fact, he is quite matter of fact, the fact is – if there is a binky in his vicinity he will talk to it, play with it, chew on it, or suck on it etc....if there is no binky close by (which is very rare mind you) he won’t be upset about it – his attitude is that you can’t miss something you don’t have right now….how cool is that? but most likely – there will always be a binky around, normally clipped on to shnookums some way or fashion....in fact we now have grammy crocheting binky attachers...in assorted colors mind you, because mommy has to have mr. binky matching...eh hEM....lol….so as you can see….mr. binky IS mr. binky in every way, shape, form of the name. – oh and FYI they must be called BINKIES, he doesn’t know what a PACIFIER is….and mr. pacifier just sounds LAME….lol

So now that you have little tid bit of information, I am sure your day, your weekend, those sleepless nights of - “why why why do they call shnookums mr. binky too?!?!!!?” - will be so much easier now…..and I am so happy to help clear the air….and mr. binky would like me to let you know on his behalf - that he is very grateful too that you can now live peacefully understanding the meaning of mr. binky....

Have a Great Weekend! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
