As Chris was just laying on the bed reading Izzy a story, he called him Boo-boo, one of our pet names for him.
Izzy told him that he didn't want to be called Boo-boo anymore.
"Boo-boo is my baby name, and I'm not a baby anymore. Now I want to be called my real name, Isaac. I'll always be Boo-boo on the inside, but now I want to to be called Isaac."
When I walked in, Chris told me what he'd just said, so I asked Izzy, "Well, how about Izzy?"
He sighed, rolled his eyes a little and said, "Well, Izzy is okay. But it's my pretend name and Isaac is my real name."
Sometimes it's those little milestones that sting the worst.
