A Little Problem
At the Casa, we have encountered a problem. A small one.
As most of you know, my little five year old great-nephew has come to live with us.
That’s not the problem.
Here is the culprit or culprits.
Back to the problem at hand.
The pre-school teacher nicely asked told us he needs to wear tennis shoes to school, because it would be more practical for some of their activities.
Hmmm.
This was a tough one. This cowboy would sleep, take a bath, and everything else, in these boots.
And tennis shoes?
Come on.
Cowboys don’t wear tennis shoes.
Ever.
The teacher had a compromise. He can wear boots one day. Tennis shoes the next day.
Every morning before his eyes are open, “Nanny, is it Boot Day?”
We have a new holiday. Boot Day.
Today, was a tennis shoe day, but he slipped out of the house in his beloved boots.
Yes, I noticed.
No, I did not say a word.
Sorry, Miss Deb.
I will take my “time out” now.

I think those boots look adorable – and what do they do in school that can't be done in boots?

Megan-thanks for stopping by! You're right about the boots-I am gonna keep them forever…

My parents would always throw out my favorite beat up showes by making them extra dirty like by stepping in poop 🙂 He is not going to go to school with smelly shoes and he is certainly not going to wash them… he can still use dirty ones at home 🙂

Looking back, I think I was so upset he couldn't wear his boots to school out of boot envy.
Growing up in suburbia, I've never owned boots. Much less ones as stylish as his. What I'm saying is, I'm boot deprived. It's tragic.

Thank you for coming by my blog!
Your blog is so cute! The pictures are great! And I think he should get to wear his boots. Let's pick our battles teachers! (math, reading, spelling)

What no boots in school? C'mon Ms. Deb if the kids around her can preform school activities in crocs (they are not supposed to) than he can sooo do them in boots. Hang tuff little man 🙂
