They named him Hawk-eye...

 

They named him Hawk-eye.

My sweet, literal children.

I was hoping for Jack or Rufus (hi Aimee!) or Oliver. 

Some days it is so hard to let them have their turn at this life.

Some days I just want to ::insert opinion and great advice here::

But, it's their fun world. 

It is their turn to imagine and have fun and play.

Have you ever heard that Kenney Chesney song... A Lot of Things Different?

People say they wouldn't change a thing even if they could
Oh but I would

And there was this red dress she wanted one time so bad she could taste it
And I should of bought it
But I didn't

She wanted to paint our bedroom in yellow and trim it in blues and greens
But I wouldn't let her
It wouldn't of hurt nothin'

This is one of those things. 

Those things I am gonna do different. 

His name his Hawk-eye.  And I love him with all my heart.

Because they named him, not me.

And it didn't hurt nothin'

We have Alphie Ralphie. And my 2 year old gets him confused with "Wolfie" at Trader Joes.
Kids are cool.

I saw the name Hawkeye and then saw your elf and totally though, 'You know, he kinda does look like Hawkeye Pierce'. I just so dated myself!

I love that you give your children the freedom of imagination. In a time where there are so many rules set by adults, kids still need to be allowed to stretch their world by using there imagination. It's sad when they don't. They are only little for a short time.
