Walking Backwards

Thrilling experiences from a rather uneventful life.

Happy April Fools everyone! This morning began with our annual April Fools day tradition, visiting the ThinkGeek website. We are so sad. This year they had another free t-shirt offer, woohoo! Since we had to order something to get the free t-shirt, I got Nicholas and Joe the v.1 and v.2 t-shirts. They'll look so cute, and super nerdy :). My family members are my dress-up dolls right now. Mentioning dressing the boys up, I also just received this shirt for my son. I know he has no idea who the Cure is, but he does need something to wear to all of the summer concerts. I know about the current debate about projecting your interests and tastes onto your child, but at two, I don't think that Nicholas minds. I'm not preventing him from wearing what he wants, he gets to pick that out every morning. He likes his concert t-shirts. I also cannot let him wear his yellow t-shirt EVERY DAY. When he is older and is able to tell me he thinks my music is lame or that the only thing that he will wear is some over-priced pair of jeans that you can only buy by waiting outside of the store for hours before they open and that only last two cycles in the machine because they were made so poorly, then I'll stop picking stuff out for him. I'm really ready for Nicholas' version of Cavaricci pants and Hypercolor t-shirts. Right now, he could care less. I might as well enjoy picking his clothes while he lets me and make it a fun exercise before it becomes a source of contention between us. I know its going to happen because I did it to my mom when I was in middle school, it is only fair that it is going to come back around.
