Let’s Talk Nicknames

Let’s talk nicknames.

Do you have one for your child? Did you have one growing up?

We adore nicknames over here. So much so that we use them more than their actual name.

They are a bit silly. And each kid has many. They evolve too.

Cooper started as Super Cooper. Then Super Duper. Then the ‘Dupe.’ Snoopy Joe. Joseph. Sloppy Joe. The list goes one.

Sawyer. Soybean. Soy burger. Soy nuts. Nuts-a-fuss. And when he wears us down we say we’ve been fussed. It’s a real thing.

Harbor. Harbie. Harbie Barbie. The Barber. And we say it like he’s in the mafia. ‘They call him the Barber!’

And lastly Wynter. Wynnie. Wynn-Wynn. And Wynnie the poo. I keep reminding her father that she won’t appreciate that one when she’s older.

In our family they are said with love. A term of endearment.

Also, look how cute these kids are!!!

Finding Cooper’s Voice is a safe, humorous, caring and honest place where you can celebrate the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child. Because you’re never alone in the struggles you face. And once you find your people, your allies, your village….all the challenges and struggles will seem just a little bit easier.
