After we first found out I was pregnant, we were at Disney Springs for dinner and just enjoy walking around. We always make our way into the art shop that they have there and on this particular night they had one of their artists selling and signing his work there. My husband saw this Winnie the Pooh painting and thought it would be great for the new baby's nursery.
The artist asked if we would like a character, that wasn't in the painting on the front, to be drawn on the back so we would have a one of one piece of art. I immediately called out, "Roo!" He looked at me a little puzzled and said, "Roo!? No one asks for Roo...maybe Eeyore or Owl?" But I explained that Roo is so cute and he is the baby of the group and we were planning on putting this in the baby's room. So Roo it was! Even though we didn't go for a "Winnie the Pooh" themed nursery, we still incorporated it into the room's décor.
This led to us calling the baby Roo for the duration of the pregnancy, even after we found out we were expecting a girl, and because we were not revealing her name until after she was born!
The nickname has stuck even after welcoming Hadley into the world- and I still think it's adorable! :)
Do you have any stories about how your little one got their nickname?!
