I'm a writer and mom living in Oakland. This is my personal blog; I write about parenting, cooking, local issues, books, and anything else that's rattling around inside my head.
I am the author of The Millennial Sword, an urban fantasy novel set in San Francisco, and two read-aloud picture books for kids, The Big Booger Bubble and Gail Murphy and the Piskies.

My short fiction is included in the anthologies Fae, Love Hurts, and Speculative Story Bites:

OMG! We call Wyatt “punkin butt” too. Augie, on the other hand, is “monkey butt” for some reason, along with about 43 variations of “bear”.

Also, I meant to say that I like how your list is alphabetized. Hee.

Great minds think alike!
I noticed a few other things I call Robin today:
Cuddlebug
Froggie or Little Frog or Mowgli
Snugglebunny, or sometimes the variant Snugglebuddy, or sometimes Snugglebug (bugs are a recurring theme for some reason!)
I also sometimes call him Monkey, but generally only when he’s stuffing his face with bananas.
And sometimes I actually call him Small Human, because it is a source of some wonder to me that he really is his own little person.
