"they called me..."

Sometimes Hagan, Griggs and I are able to 

just drop the other kids off at school in the carpool lane,

and other times we have to go inside with them.

Recently Hagan has been really sad when we have to 

get out of the car and go into the school. 

One day he even had tears in his eyes. 

I was worried,  Hagan is pretty quiet about his needs,

so, when he gets emotional I get concerned.

He finally began talking,

"they called me...

cute."

Ohhh buddy!!! 

Now, that's just something your going to have to get used too!

Bless his heart! 

After our morning errands Hagan opened up again - 

"I no cute,

I a boy!"

This is where language and cultural differences come in.

Jorja also, would get upset if we called her any nickname - 

cutie, sweetie, honey... 

she only wanted to be called "Jorja"!

I think we got it through to him today that it is 

 nice to be called "cute"! 

I mean really, Hagan, you are adorable!
