The Name Swootie

My twin brother and I . So, I'm pretty sure some of you are confused to where I got the name Swootie for my blog title. Well here's the story behind it. When I was a baby my father wanted to give me a nick name. He wasn't sure what nick name to call me so he tried a different tactic. He went through different words to see witch ones I liked. He said sweetie swatie, and of course I showed little to no reaction. He finally came to the word Swootie and I guess I loved it, and smiled. I'm not entirely sure that's how it really happened, but he sure told me that story my whole life. So that's how I received the nick name "Swootie". Its not the best name out there, but I really like it. No one really calls me that anymore, but I still keep it as my nick name. He did the exact same thing with my niece Skylar. He ended up calling her Pootie. I'm the only one who still calls her that. She also says I'm the only one who is allowed to call her that. Maybe I will try this process when I have children of my own.

My Dad was such a awesome person, and past away December 17,2007. I will always remember the fun times we had together. That's exactly why I named my blog Swootie's blog. Do you have a crazy nicknamed that you gained when you were a baby?
