My daughter is making me call her Dominic Hasek

[Jeanie]

Every time I say her name, she says "what's my name mama" and I have to say Dominic Hasek.

My mom is watching her today and now she's correcting my mom. "I'm Dominic Hasek!"

Um, yeah.

 

[Easily-Amused]

hey I used to do that. Up until a few months ago, I got really angry when people called me by my real name: Laurel. I insisted on being called Ducky.

Wait a sec, isn't Dominic a bloke's name?

How old is this daughter?

 

[Jeanie]

Dominic Hasek is the Red Wings' goalie.

She is 2.

She told me the other day that she wants to be a goalie but she doesn't have the pads or gloves or mask. I asked her if she wanted to be a right winger, she said no. Left winger? no. center? no. defenseman? no. goalie? YES. :nod:

How cute is that? I miss those days...sort of.

Two of my girls went through a phase of calling me by my first name, my youngest still does now and then, the little twerp.

Are you going to sign her up for ice skating lessons?

 

[Jeanie]

yes, she'll be old enough for snow cubs (3-5 year old hockey) next year. she's very distressed that she can't skate yet.

She's the next Manon Rheaume! Sign her up

Toddlers on ice, there are few things funnier than that. When I had my girls in lessons, they had to wear these big old helmets, and they always looked like they were ready to tip from the weight of them.

That is too freaking adorable.

That is so awesome Jeanie...this is why I feel we need a WNHL. The NBA has the WNBA so why can't the NHL have a WNHL.
