He hated wearing shoes or boots of any kind. We always had shoes for him, of course, since he had to wear them when we went to church, the grocery store, the public library, etc. But his shoes got so little use that they still looked almost new when he outgrew them. I had a friend whose little boy was about a year younger than mine, and her son inherited everything my son outgrew. She used to accuse me of going out and buying new shoes for her son, rather than sending her hand-me-downs, because my son's shoes had received so little wear!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15587642025486975969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369315540866799223.post-73964318748636937772011-02-28T10:50:41.190-07:002011-02-28T10:50:41.190-07:00ROFL!!!

I thought it was because he was making some sort of fashion statement but now I know it's either because he's brilliant, creative and unstifled or he's sleeping in his snowsuit.Auntie Libhttp://2helenahandbaskets.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369315540866799223.post-74460972911629195552011-02-25T00:28:57.601-07:002011-02-25T00:28:57.601-07:00I laughed SO HARD at your comment - as a small chi...I laughed SO HARD at your comment - as a small child I used to go out in dresses without my underwear ALL THE TIME, and was not precisely careful. Once, I even rode my Hot Wheels down the street without a stitch on. Poor Mom! :D<br /><br />Secret-hope all you want, but *I* am hoping that he obeys the school rules for winter attire, rofl. (If I were a betting woman, I'd put money down on you, though. Anyone who knows Devon will tell you that he has a very high chance of being a repeat offender, um, I mean a brilliant, creative, unstifled boy.)Noni Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618594700952066688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369315540866799223.post-79249123380048749832011-02-24T22:32:58.327-07:002011-02-24T22:32:58.327-07:00yopaxton says (but has to be anonymous because I c...yopaxton says (but has to be anonymous because I can't get wordpress or open id to work):<br /><br />First time to your blog. Great story. As a mom of a whole bunch of kids, I feel confident saying you are a great mom -- only great moms let their kids sleep in whatever they want and trust them enough to know that shorts are ok for indoors where it is HEATED. You did not send him out in shorts. You sent him out in a snowsuit! I would let him go in shorts any time he wants (and I secretly hope he chooses to so again!)<br /><br />I remember sitting in a circle with classmates in kindergarten and looking across and Linda was sitting "Indian style", in a dress, and oops, she forgot her underwear that day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
