Labels

Aidan has been playing around with his identity labels recently. Here's one conversation we had, with me starting by playfully saying hello using a nickname.

"Hello ba!"
(very solemnly) "Not ba".
"Oh. Who are you?"
"Tom tom".
"Hello Tom tom!".
(very solemnly) "Not Tom tom".
"Oh. Who are you?"
"Ba".

Then yesterday, I called him my son.

"Not son. Daughter. Abelle daughter. Daughter too".
"OK. Are you a boy or a girl?"
"A boy. Daughter".

Glad to hear he values the feminine!
