Rootles & Mum Mum

Jon calls Madelyn "Rootles", & Ansley "Mum Mum". If you're interested to know how those nicknames came about read on...
Rootles comes from Tootles, which comes from Tootles on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Jon used to always say, "Oh Tootles!", as Mickey says on the cartoon. Mum Mum comes from a baby snack that Ansley used to munch on called Baby Mum Mum's. If your wondering what Jon calls me, I'll tell you...Mama-toulie. Yep, that's right. Originally I was Mama T 2 (mom of 2 kids), then that blasted movie Ratatoulie was released, so he incorporated the rat's name with mine. Sometimes you'll hear Jon call Madelyn "T Rootles" & call Ansley "Little You." So, I may have to update our blog in a few months after all 3 of our nicknames have evolved yet again. I've come to realize that no nickname is sacred & can be changed without notice. We have all come to love Jon's terms of endearmont...no matter where they originated!
