Had to think about this and have observed over the last couple of days.
When directly speaking is a necessity, it turns out I call him 'dad' and he calls me 'mum'. Not in an Oedipus complex kind of way, but in a defined by the kids way.

Rather bizarely I call her 'hamster' after a combat hamster she was given as she is very small and a full contact fighter.
4 year old daughter was called 'daddy's treasure' until she saw some pirate program and now she corrects me if I say as technically she is not a chest of gold coins. So I usually use her name now, or whichever name she asks to be called.
2 year old son is just call 'Tiny little man'.
Although yesterday I wondered if I was doing this parenting thing right when the 4 year old wanted something the 2 year old had and was chasing him to get it. 2 year old thought they were playing a game until he was cornered and she tried to take it by force out of his hand. He shouted at her and slapped he hand away. From the sofa where I was drinking my tea I casually called over "Treasure, I would not try to corner him because he will just knock your block off" and then carried on watching TV.

Daughter is called Petal, as she is a Petal from the Flower.
Syrupy enough?
