My son John and my daughter-in-law Sandy are expecting their first child. Though they have not yet to decide on a name, they have given the expected baby a nickname: "Daw Daw". Daw Daw means little pea.

I like this nickname very much; I recall a book that read many years ago written by an educator in Japan talking about his daughter's childhood. His daughter's nickname was "Daw Daw", the little pea.
