Calling Daddy by Name

Since Lucas has learned to say his Daddy's name, once in a while, he will call him by his name. One day he said, 'Do-minic, make milk and water please'. We were both shocked and afraid he will call Dominic from now on instead of Daddy. I told him, 'If you call Daddy Dominic you will not get your milk and water'. Lucas was puzzled with the firmness in my tone. He was probably wondering what's wrong calling Dominic because that is his Daddy's name. He stopped calling Daddy Dominic.

Yesterday, when he heard me calling Dominic by his name, he quickly protested and said 'Mommy call Dominic'. He must be thinking why can't he call Dominic but I can. I have to tell him that I can call Daddy Dominic but Lucas must call Daddy. I don't think he quite get it yet...
