this face cracks me up .... it's very un-sailor-ish - not her normal smile or laugh or look or expression ??? : )
- - -
of all their names, i'm asked about sailor's the most. where did you come up with that? how do you spell that? i've never heard that before .... it's a common word, it's not a common name.
half the time she'll correct the people who assume they heard her say taylor, half the time she won't.
her name is really not as complicated as some think .... i heard it at a cousins baby shower years & years ago. i wasn't married. i didn't even know rex. it wasn't even my cousin who mentioned it. it was some girl who was pregnant & was all into sharing names & if she had a girl she'd name her ....... and i never forgot it.
fast forward -
did rex like it ..... : )
we got married.
we had a baby.
she was a girl.
(and as for twinks .... its a little nickname that started when i went into say good morning to her when she was a baby in her crib still. i'd walk in & smile and pick her up, it was twinkle something ... i don't even remember : ) she also used to walk around on her tip toes & rex called her twinkle toes. over time it was just shortened to twinks. rex & i are the only ones who use the name .... none of the other kids even call her by it.)
she asked me what her name meant .... on the name plaque on the wall it gives 'divinely guided' as a definition. sailor pretty much means sailor. jane means God is gracious as well.
again, i've been completely fascinated with their answers. some have been absolutely hilarious to me, some have totally surprised me, some i could have answered on my own ..... some of them i've really wanted to explain or give background to, or justify or add my own thoughts with .... but that wouldn't be fair reporting, would it : ) so here we go with sailor!
