shop ’til you drop
Posted by kyden on Thursday Aug 26, 2010 Under Uncategorizedi always have fun shopping with mama. even though we usually just go to the grocery store, i like to sit in the shopping cart and wave at all the other people there. they always wave back and do funny things to make me giggle. grocery store people are so friendly 
but yesterday, mama took me shoe shopping. mama picked out a pair for me and then helped me walk around the store to see if they were comfy. they weren’t… at all. my feet want to be free! i immediately tried to pull off the shoes, but they didn’t budge. i tried to kick them off, but that didn’t work either. velcro is some powerful stuff.
mama helped me free my feet (whew!) and then told me that i could pick whatever shoes i wanted. and that’s when the fun began.
i crawled over to a display of shoes and selected a pair of pink and white pumas. i then spotted some pink and white onesies embroidered with pretty butterflies, so i slid the shoebox across the store to get them. cute outfit, right? but i wasn’t done yet! mama taught me that no outfit is complete without a coordinated bib, so i crawled around the corner to find those. (mama took the shoes out of the box for the photo, but i did the rest all by myself!)
mama thinks that i want to be a cross-dresser, but i just want my little sister to be well-dressed. i know, you’re thinking “WHAT LITTLE SISTER???”, right? yeah, mama and daddy said the same thing. oh well. a kid can dream.

Daddy says x-dressing is a good thing…if you’ve got the body to pull it off. He said that every time he’s x-dressed, he’s won something! Here’s the rundown of his wins: snow white (best couple – with prince charming, prettiest girl, best group – the 7 dwarfs were there too), hula girl ($50 at Hobbies!).

logan, i didn’t know that your daddy was a cross dresser! i only heard about the time that he wore a bikini to play volleyball. and now that you mention it, i think that mama said that he won a prize that time, too! hey… let’s go shopping

I think a lot of little kids are attracted to the color pink. It’s not gender-assigned to a pre-school kid. My parents’ friends got a little concerned, tho, when their 8 yr old boy still preferred pink, altho my parents gave him my pink bike with the white basket with pretty flowers all over it (which I had outgrown). He was REALLY happy with that bike.

your bike sounds super cool, auntie cindy! i hope i get an awesome pink bike with pretty flowers, too
i have a distant 5-year old cousin (boy) who only wants to wear his sister’s clothes. he especially likes her tutu and sun dresses, and he always picks out coordinating shoes and accessories. i’ll bet he would LOVE your pink bike!
