He was certainly an adorable little tacker! That's a new work for me.

It must be an Aussie word. No-one seems to know it.

I wouldn't bother trying to remember it as you might be the only one in your circle who knows what it means.

Happy birthday to him! I know what you mean about feeling nostalgic and a bit sad on our children's birthdays-I go thru the same thing it seems. That's an adorable picture of him. I don't think that I've ever heard of the term tacker, but its cute-just like him!

Thanks. The older we get (his parents) the further away he seems to be so it gets a bit sad sometimes.

Australian. I never heard it before. I didn't like where mine was placed in the year because I couldn't bring treats to school. It's summer here and no school in July. Nice picture of your son.

@JudyEv My brother-in-law, my late husband's brother, has his birthday in December. He celebrates it in the middle of summer or did when he was growing up so it wouldn't be confused with Christmas.

@just4him That's a good idea. That way he wouldn't miss out on presents either.

It seems perhaps the most unpopular time for birthdays is around Christmas. I have a friend whose birthday is the 23rd and she hates it being at that time. A cousin has hers on Christmas Day itself which is just as bad.

SO you also still have a picture of him when he was just a kid. He is so cute!

Indeed as our children grows older, we become much more older too and that saddens me so much also.

We have lots of photos of both of them. Because he is so far away it will become more and more difficult to visit him. And yes, that makes us sad.

Tacker is a word that I never heard.

Difficult to explain to a child why his birthday is on a certain date. I was the first in family, in February.

I've never heard or read the word 'tacker'. I won't include it in my vocabulary, though. I'd rather stick with standard British English. I hope you can live with this and won't be insulted. :-)
