LO

What does LO stand for when discussing children?

Little one

Parents and others who interact with small children use LO to mean "little one." This acronym is a short and sweet way to refer to a short and sweet kid.

Typically, parents use LO when discussing their own child. For example, a friend who has a small child may send you "can't make it out tonight, LO really acting up" to let you know they'll be busy parenting this evening. (Parenting: The fullest of full-time jobs, amirite?)

As a child ages up toward tweendom, their parents may stop referring to them as an LO. However, the child will likely always be an LO in their parents' hearts.
