Graham (22 months old) is communicating more and more every day. Just this morning he was watching a DVD on our computer and came to tell us "it stop" when he inadvertently turned the movie off. He's getting better at parroting back almost anything you say and, of course, he'll say all kinds of profane words as he mispronounces the words he's trying to say.
All of his brothers have been down this same road… with one exception. He's been calling everyone "Daddy." Every adult is "Daddy," regardless of gender, including Mom. Graham will call Shannon "Daddy" a hundred times in a day. You ask him to say "mommy" and he will, but if you ask who Shannon is he'll say "Daddy!"
When did "daddy" become the catch-all for anyone over 36 inches tall? The other boys never did this. Just Graham.

It's because even in his young little life he recognizes how blessed he is to have you as his daddy. Unable to communicate that he just calls everyone he loves Daddy. My favorite quote is "Peas da-eee, peas?" To which we all reply, "sure baby what ever you want." Just kidding, almost anything :)
aah! Josiah isn't the only little boy who did this. He did call everyone Daddy for quite a while. I do think it is because they LOVE their Daddy sooo much why would you want to use anyone else's name.
