little bear...

Many of you have heard me call Ethan, bear.  Yet, no one has ever asked me where the name came from or what it means.  First of all, I have never been big on nicknames.  Maybe this sprung from my own name being difficult to shorten to a nickname.  When Ethan was a wee little bear and we spent many hours a day nursing.  That is when the name just came to me.  He was round and cuddly with a sweet face....like a teddy bear.  He reminded me of that cute little bear BabyGap puts on all of their clothes.  Hence, the name bear, baby bear, or lately little bear.
