Butterfly Boy!! 7/20/2009

This is defiantly one for the memory book. Today we headed over to TJMaxx and as we were walking through the girls department Koda spots a pair of purple wings. Here is a bit of how our conversation went.
His face lights up and says Mom look at the butterfly wings!! I could totally be a butterfly for Halloween!
All of the kids will tease you, Jaden tells him.
There are boy butterflies, right?
Yes there are boy butterflies, but I thought you wanted to be the Phantom? I ask him.
I know but I could FLY with wings!
Well, whatever makes you happy, I said.
How about I get the wings for dress-up, and still be the Phantom for Halloween? he asked.
Sounds like a good plan to me!
So with Bailia's leotard and leggings, and his new pretty purple wings Butterfly Boy is ready for action!

Some find it disgusting, some find it funny, some find it weird, and some find it normal, for Koda to dress up in "girly" outfits. I love that he has enough confidence to pull it off! He wants to do what makes him happy, and if dressing up in different costumes (girls dress-up included) makes him happy, then I am more than willing to let him! Besides, you are only young ONCE!
We decided that it was time for Harley to get a summer cut! I have enough dog hair floating around my house to cover an elephant, even though I vaccuum one or two times a day! Her new cut looks SO good, and we will continue to trim her throughout the WHOLE year! She looks better, plus the hair that is shed will be about 1/8 of the length of her hair before! SA-WEET!
