traumatized
I just had a moment of panic when I realized that due to a recent growth spurt, we had no cowboy boots for LT to wear to our county fair, which starts the day after tomorrow. For nine years, since he was too little to walk, LT has worn cowboy boots to the fair, like a proper country boy descended from a long line of Okies and the like. LT quickly put my panic to rest, though, or at any rate caused it to veer off in another direction, when he told me that he didn't want any. The same little boy who used to run to his room and scramble into his size 3T overalls and little tiny boots whenever Grandpa came over! The one who had Wranglers so small that they must have taken less than half a yard of indigo denim to construct, and the pocket tag was almost as big as the whole pocket! Doesn't want cowboy boots for the fair!
Deep breath. It's OK. I'm glad he's old enough to make his own decisions about what he likes and doesn't like. I guess.

=( That is sad!!! I remember when Toney went in his room to get his "grandpa" clothes. Nate still does that! =)
