Indian Names

Tonight while I was giving the boys their bath, I was compelled to bestow upon them their very own Indian names. The ones I came up with came to me pretty easily and if you know either of my boys, I think you will agree that they are perfect for them.


Boston~~~Crazy Squirrel


He never stops....ever.
He spins on the floor to purposefully make himself dizzy.
He's a blabber mouth.
He hits his head on/with things -quite hard and intentionally- then laughs about it.
He makes quick, abrupt movements no matter what he's doing.
He has spiky, erratic hair.


Ethan~~~Bossy Eagle


He hovers over anyone he feels isn't following the rules and relentlessly informs them of what they are doing wrong and how they should do it differently.
He's bossy.
He's anal about how things should be done.
He likes to be in charge.


Heaven help us!!

I am curious as to what inspired you to think of Indian names....

What inspired me?? Well, at the time the boys were in the tub, Boston was freaking out and splashing water everywhere while he was trying to spin in circles in the confined area, completely happy that he was able to play around. Meanwhile, Ethan was yelling at Boston saying that "we don't splash or spin in the tub, Bosty!!" I started thinking about how this is the typical conversation we have..."Ethan, he's not being bad, please let mommy and daddy handle the discipline, okay?" At that point Ethan pouts because he was put in his place. That, in a nutshell, is how I was inspired.

Kids are just the strangest little things, aren't they? Biological or not, you step away and look at them for a little while and sometimes think, "What are they thinking? Heck, what was I thinking?!?"
