Stylin' His Way

Micah called Shotgun the other day in the van. Considering that he's not technically allowed to ride shotgun, I only allowed it because we were going to my mom's house across the road. Our driveway is longer than the road we took to get there. Still, you'd have thought that I gave Micah a lifetime ticket to a buffet the way he grinned and laughed.

He did what Big People do when they sit in the front seat; he put on sunglasses. He tried mine on and deemed them Not Satisfactory. He tried daddy's on and while they were fun a bit longer than mommy's were, they were quickly declared Lacking. He reached behind the seat and pulled out his own pair. They were Just Right.

He grinned, and giggled, and touched my arm to be sure that I was looking at his stellar shades. The ones that are pink, with sparkles and Disney princesses on them.

I have no idea where the boy got those things, but he is incredibly proud of them. He wears them all the time, those pink, sparkly princess shades. He is sure that he's as cool in those as Paris Hilton is in hers. Maybe cooler. It takes some moxie to pull those off, and he does it well. Like the time he wore them with shorts and cowboy boots.

Micah has a style of his own, there's no denying it. I love that boy.

I love that your family lives so close to you. That rocks...

And Micah? It sounds like he's definitely found the perfect sunglasses for himself!

Good for him. I wish more kids had his uh, style sense and the confidence to bring it off. I love the over-sized shoes too.

Micah is definitly cooler than Paris. There's no commparison!

Paris might want to take some lessons from Micah!

You might want to look into therapy for the other boys, though ... ;)

My Big Tom is a princess guy too. He's particularly fond of Beauty and the Beast. He's even converted my daughter's princess night gown into his own personal "blanky". I'm thrilled to know that he's in good company and if Tom and Micah are cool with that then I am too.

James - that's why I love you so much. There's not a thing wrong with a boy who's in touch with his feminine side.
