our dog

For years I have seen little girls dressed up in the princess costumes at the grocery store, Target, the park. . .wherever. . .and every time I see it I think, "Oh, I am so glad I don't have girls!"

Well. . .I guess there is a boy version of this story. Cole wants to be Underdog for Halloween. We went to Laura's house (my old teaching partner. . .back from the working days!) to pick up the dog costume. Cole was so excited to get it! Next stop, Target. And then came the question, "Mommy, can I please wear the dog costume?" Right then and there I decided that it was not a battle I wanted to fight. On went the costume and into the store we went. He received lots of stares, had plenty of conversations with people and had the time of his life!
