Hah. She'll be in good company. :) My son is still confused about his name, although he'll come whenever I call pretty much anything in a particular tone of voice.

"wrinkle that oozes"... strangely missing from the list?

[sara]

btw, "scrubblebutt" - best nickname ever. :)

@chris strangely, yes. too long, I guess?

we made up name for her various types of squirmy behavior. such as:

"she squirbled the hat off the back of her head again"

and "i put her down sleeping, but now she's [scrubbly|scrubbling around]."

and so our neologisms made their way into our nicknames for her :-)
