I don't believe I ever explained where the name of your favorite blog came from. Here goes, so keep up.Around the time I started writing it, one of Vincent's favorite beverages (still remains a favorite) was chocolate milk. Being 2 years old, he called it, "chachi milk." Pronounced like the Happy Days character. As in Joanie loves.
At the time, he was asking for it maybe 54 times a day so after being inspired by my friend Scott's blog, but not having a title in mind, I went with "chachi milk." Just idiosyncratic and silly enough to work.
Well of course, now that Peter is nearly two, possessing of advanced language skills and a lover of that revered beverage, we've got an alternate pronunciation. "Chocky milk." As in, rhymes with "Rocky silk."
What's a guy to do? Vincent has long since dropped his original pronunciation so "chocky milk" is really top of mind. I mean, Pete says it maybe 89 times a day. Example:
Me: "What do you want to drink, Peter?"
Peter: "Chocky milk."
Me: "Let's have something different. It's getting late and that has a lot of sugar."
P: (unwavering yet matter-of-factly) "Chocky milk."
Me: "How about plain milk?"
P: "CHOOOOCCKY MIILK!!!!!"
You see what I mean. Is this the end of an era? You decide.
Seriously. You decide for me. I can't.

It is a quandary. However I have changed the name of my blog twice. Although I think it will remain what it is for sometime. When you got something you just have to go with it.
Just found this on the utube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkPh8As-y6E
u dont have to post
You can't change the name of your blog. Are you crazy? Only people like Ben do that....
Oh but I did post it, Anonymous. Because it is awesome.
You've got a point, Kate. I don't want to be like him. Although he is my only "follower." Therefore, I love him.
You gotta keep it real. Stick with Chachi. -cb
Thanks, cb. I feel it.
While the issue seems to be settled, can I weigh in? While kudos to Peter for his verbal prowess, getting that vowel right where it counts, to me "Chachi Milk" is classic. It's funny and enigmatic and just a good time. So may I suggest the semi-colon for your blog too?
Chachi Milk: Keepin it chock solid since 2007
just thinking out loud here.
Hi Kate!

Sorry Kate. I meant my only official "follower." Must be becuase he has a blogger account. Now that I've alientated 95% of my readership...
Hi Angela! Good idea...you're so smart. Let's get off this blog and go hang out somewhere fun.
