I thought you would both enjoy this little visual..so here it is...
Lucas and I are going out to run some errands. I've dressed him in his camo
denim shorts and his orange tank top with Curious George on the front. I
tell him he can pick out his own shoes and leave the room for a moment. When
I return, he's struggling to put on his Kiddorable Wellies. I try to
dissuade him but to no avail. (I DID tell him he could choose...) So, its
like 90 degrees here, and he's dressed as I've described, and he now stomps
proudly in his bright blue goulashes!
A man at the UPS store openly giggles and shakes his head. A crowd at
Starbucks laughs and discuses his shoes as we pass. A mom with two kids at
Blockbuster smiles adoringly. But the best was the bank, where everyone
knows him and openly applauded his fashion choice!! You should have been
there! If I had the camera, I'd have shot it for sure!
Also, Lucas has discovered today how to get the back porch hose nozzle to
work. He's been out there now for about an hour spraying everything in site,
including me! But the best part was...(he's naked by the way)...when he
discovered he could spray the cold water on his penis. You should have SEEN
the smiles of suprise and joy! Ah! These are the moments you treasure!
