DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

Boys Can Wear Pink . . .

If they want to be a girl. 

We were in a rush to go grocery shopping, it was cold, so we quickly grabbed the first blanket we could find (a pink one) and wrapped it around Henry. I thought nothing of it. (OK, maybe I thought something of it, but I was in a rush!) Pink blanket, blue blanket, who cares? The baby is warm, right? We made our way to Fred Meyer and we put Henry in the attached baby-seat on top of the cart, and placed the pink blanket over him to keep him warm, since it was FREEZING! We commenced shopping. Charles was pushing the baby-cart around in the produce aisle, when a lady came up to him and said of baby Henry, "Ooooo . . . she is so cute! What a precious little girl." Charles tenderly replied, "Yes, she is a sweetheart. Though she has been grumpy lately, because she is teething." The lady nodded with understanding, and she went on her way . . . none the wiser that she had just gushed cute-girly over our handsome boy. And Charles, well, he just did not have the heart to correct her. It's just a good thing she didn't ask what "her" name was . . . that would have been entertaining

Would YOU have corrected her? 

P.S. He was wearing a blue sleeper under the pink blanket, but who is looking THAT deep?
