What's Your Name?

For the last two days Pistol has been responding correctly, albeit in her own style, to the question what's your name. Well, yesterday, she also responded correctly when asked what's your sissy's name. Ta-ta-ta was on the phone with them and had a chance to hear her, she got the biggest kick out of that little voice saying her own name!



LongRifle will say her sister's name, but hasn't quite mastered saying her own. I guess it doesn't help that we gave her the waaaay longer name to begin with, I can only imagine how difficult it is going to be to teach her how to write it out. And no...there will not be any shortening of the name, or any nicknames (at least until they decide they want one). Being as how we hadn't picked out any names until the night they were born, DrillSgt & I specifically looked for names that meant something, that would carry them through the rough road ahead. We figured that being born @ 23 weeks and 5 days they were going to need all the help they could get. So we gave those tiny little fragile beings BIG names to grown into.
