One of the reasons I wiped out my old blog and started fresh with this one was that I wanted to do more to protect our privacy. I have changed my children's names on this blog, which I will explain below, and I am also using the safe code ...

1b14 simply means 1st child, boy, 14 years old ... etc.

Dandelion Seeds explains it on her blog.

1b14 is now "Boss" simply because he is the oldest and is frequently put in charge of the others, while I run errands or just need a break.

2b11 is "Tank" because not only is he built like one, he also loves all things related to the military.

3b6 is "Taz" like the cartoon character from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons ... not only is he a whirlwind of energy, he's also hard to understand.

4g4 is "Sweet Cheeks" because that's what her daddy calls her. She has cute, chubby cheeks.

5g1 is "Little Bit" because that's what her daddy calls her, too. She is quite petite, just like her mama.
