Our biggest pain - rubber style

Jackson's Grandma got him some cute rain boots that went with his fireman rain coat for his birthday in March. He loves these boots and has worn them several places. Now he has outgrown them and has managed to convince his Aunt Dee Dee that he wears them all the time. After several arguements we were able to prevent him from wearing them to school if we would pay him some new ones. I knew that Target had them on sale so it was a win win situation for me. After telling him that little boys don't wear the red cherry boots he settled on camo ones. He wouldn't take them off his feet in the basket so the checker had to pull the scanner and reach over the basket to scan the boots. Then he had to wear them out. Keep in mind that they were still tied together. Final straw was he HAD to wear them to church yesterday. Well we were late and so he is running through the halls with these loud rain boots. Only my son.

HAHA -- that is too funny!

Listen, we've been in public in tutus with plastic high heels and cowboy hats covered in flames. It's a stage that passes way too quickly. I think when people saw Jackson, they probably thought less that you being a crazy mother who dresses him badly (though some thought that -- teehee!), and more about their own children growing up and out of that stage far too soon.
