My BB turned one last week.
At his party, someone mentioned they thought it was cute that I called him BB.
In the beginning, when we found out my daughter and her husband were expecting, BB was just “text speak” for baby.
As in, they’re having a BB, squeeeeee!
Then we found out it was a boy and BB meant Baby Boy.
He was named Benjamin and BB became Baby Ben.
Then Big Ben.
But ultimately, BB stands for my Baby’s Baby.
My BABY has a BABY! *sob*
(it’s a good cry)
