Trains & Babies

This weekend Nana took us to Toys R Us. We looked for Jadon's birthday present and a costume for Jadon and Haven for the church costume party. We ended up bypassing the Halloween costumes and looked over in the dress up area and found the perfect thing for Jadon. He is so into trains right now, well, trains and airplanes. Through searching and looking we finally found it - a conductor's uniform. It is perfect! I think he has worn in everyday since we got it. We even wore it to go grocery shopping at Wal-Mart.

I never thought I would be a mom that let my children wear costumes or shorts and cowboy boots or anthing that didn't match, into a public store. Well, when you become a mom you quickly realize that this is not a battle worth fighting. He's hopefully learning to be his own person and not be swayed by what others around him think. If this small act can help in that direction then he can wear his conductor's uniform or put his boots on with his shorts and even wear his bicycle helmet to the mall with Mema.


We do vow, however, to not let him leave the house in just his Incredibles boxers (that he got from Lucas) and a tank top. Now matter how much he asks! That is not appropriate any way you look at it.

Not to leave Miss Haven out, she too got a costume. A cute pink leopard kitty cat costume. She also came away with a baby bottle so she may start feeding her babies.

This is the baby's last feeding of the day before her and Haven go to bed.
