Taquito Munchkina

Bren, B, Nugget, Peanut, Honey....nicknames that Brenna has had over time. Some are obvious, but her most recent one is goofy.  And she loves it. 

Brenna likes to eat.  But only the foods she chooses (not marshmallows, fish or mustard).  And she LOVES taquitos...you know, the little rolled tacos.  One night she ate so many that she was nicknamed Taquito by our friend Tim.  It made everyone laugh and she has, on occasion, been referred to as Taquito again.  While tucking her in the other night, I referred to her as Munchkin.  I usually do a slew of goofy things while getting her ready for bed, or to get her excited for bed, or to motivate her to go through the routine.  This particular night, I called her a bunch of nicknames.  By the time the covers were coming up over her chest, I was calling her Taquito Munchkina.  It just came out.  Now she loves it and wants me to squeeze the covers around her tight (like a taquito) and call her Taquito Munchkina.  It makes her smile or laugh, which in turn makes me smile or laugh.  Not to mention how it makes my heart melt.  I sure do love that little rolled taco with the beautiful blue eyes :)
