Mojo

(Scooter & Mojo, 10-03-09)

So, I forgot to mention the funniest thing about bring home Ben. As with all of our kids, naming him was especially difficult. I was still liking William and Zachary, and not liking the B-B alliteration. But, unlike the other kids, as soon as I saw the little guy I thought - Ben. Then, within a minute of holding him, Nathan looked at me and said "Benjamin." We still fought it though. (Considering I wanted to name both Daniel and Nicholas "William" - I couldn't give it up too easily.)


Thursday night, James asked Daniel what we should name the baby. This was always a fun game, as Daniel always said "Harry!" (with gusto - an exclaimation, not a statement.) Apparently, Daniel didn't disappoint and responded with the usual "Harry!" Then he added, "Wait, not Harry. I've got it. MOJO! We should name him MOJO!"

And so, Ben has a nickname. Mojo Battan. It has a good ring...
