A boy and his boots

Parker is very into his boots these days. For that matter, he is really into clothes. However, not like mommy would hope. He is very opinionated on what he will and will not wear. His #1 choice of clothing is his Indian shirt. The first one we had was beginning to get a tad too small, but by the grace of the clothing gods, I found another one (different color) at another store. We now have 2 indian shirts that we wear at least once a week, if not more. His 2nd choice of clothing options would be his PJ's. His last option would be actual clothes, but that has to be his choice. I try to bribe him to put on all the cute "outfits" (that's for you Mel), but every day it is the same...we end up going back to his room so he can pick out his clothes. Thank goodness he has some sort of fashion sense. Shoes are a whole 'nother story. There are these boots...not cowboy boots, but his HUnter rain boots, that he LOVES! He has figured out how to put them on by himself so these are the shoes he wears every day...with whatever (see below)




Now, this last picture needs an explanation. Last week, Parker decided that he wanted to start using the big potty. So I guess we are beginning to potty train, but we are not there yet. He still refuses to us the big potty, he will only use his little potty. He won't wear big boy undies...he prefers camando. And he still pees all over my floor and me when he "forgets" to go. So we are doing it slowly, but I will not force the issue. Every day I see more and more progress and he is even waking up dry in the morning. But this picture cracks me up. We spend most of our time outdoors with no clothes on these days, but the boots are a must!
