I told the boys that I would take them out one at a time and let them pick out a new "first day of school" outfit! Wyatt could hardly stand waiting any longer, so we headed out to do some shopping! I asked where he wanted to go and since the shirt he wore on his first day of school last year came from Kohls, that's where he wanted to go. Such a creature of habit! Wyatt can be quite indecisive sometimes- especially when you really can't go wrong with any of the choices. It's hard for him! So when he was faced with sooooo many awesome shirts, it was a super tough decision. Watching him deliberate was cracking me up though! He finally managed to pick a favorite and knew exactly what shorts he already had that would match PERFECTLY! Then we headed over to Marshalls to check things out over there, just in case. And it was there that we realized his backpack (that we bought at the end of school supply season last year) didn't have a water bottle holder and that just wasn't going to cut it. So we started exploring the backpack selection. Another round of touch decisions!!! Ultimately, he walked away with an awesome shirt and an awesome backpack!!
He is officially ready for Kindergarten now!!
He had to lay everything out and list the pros and cons to each shirt. Think you know which one he picked?
He did the same for the backpacks as well. "Take a picture of me wearing it like this. Now take a picture of me wearing it like this. Now, let me see which looks better."
Final decision!
I loved shopping with you Wyatt!!!! You're going to look AWESOME on your first day!
I would have a separate post for shopping with Grant, but it was ridiculously simple. "I want a blue Nike shirt to match my new Nike shoes. Oh, I like this one. Let's get it." I asked if he wanted to try it on to make sure, so he did- right there in the middle of the floor (over his clothes) and said, "Yep, thats good." He did also pick out a new lunchbox and water bottle, also easy choices.
Bring on the new school year! Or maybe not, I don't know if I'm ready yet!!
