I took Denver shopping for some new school clothes. We got 8 shirts, and only 1 pair of shorts, (Kohl's was lacking in the shorts department, we'll have to try somewhere else for that.) Denver has wanted to wear a new shirt ever since we got them, and it's been less than 24 hours! I told him to get dressed this morning, and of course he wanted to pick one of his new shirts. I told him they were to be saved for school. He protested and I said again that they were school shirts and we would put them in the closet until school starts in 10 days. "Umm.. mom...? what if we make some of these shirts not school shirts." - In other words, if it's a non-school shirt I can wear it right now, right? Cute boy!
I giggled, and Matt told him he sure was smart, which either embarrassed him, or upset him, because he put himself in the corner after that. He sulked for a minute, until Matt brought him over, and being the sucker that I am, I gave in to that sweet little boy. I told him he could pick just one to wear, and the rest would go in the closet. He can wear the shirt whenever he wants to for the next week, but he can't ask me for anymore of his school clothes.
He was so happy. How could anyone resist that?
