In our family we have a name for some of the *quirky *characteristics of our kids. We call these *quirky* characteristics *ism's*.
This started out many years ago with Gavin. We called all the cute little quirky behaviors *Gavin-ism's. *
This has been passed down to Elliott and Emmett as well.
For example, one of my most favorite is an Emmett-ism. Emmett has a very particular way of showing me affection. It's called *hug and kiss* and I value it more than anything in the world.
He has to hug me first and then give me a kiss. It has to be in that order or he starts over again.
It's just been something he has always done. I think it's one of the sweetest things in the whole wide world. Sometimes I tease him and say *kiss and hug* instead of *hug and kiss*.
He just looks at me and say *no Daddy, hug and kiss. *
That is an *ism* and it's incredibly precious to me. Some are more pleasant than others, but they are part of my children and I choose to embrace them.
Do you have any *ism's *in your family? What are they?
