Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

As a family with many little children, we inherit hand-me-downs on a regular basis, it works well for us as well as our children, although for most of Jack's first year you would have never caught him in "used" clothes. Four kids later, I have seen the light and am very grateful for most "previously owned" packages that arrive at our door. In our most recent acquisition we found some pretty, purple jelly shoes with Dora the Explorer emblazoned prominently on the toes. Grey took one look at these sparkly little shoes and claimed them for his own.
Unfortunately, they happen to be exactly his size, and with little snaps on the sides, can easily be slipped on by a two year old in a matter of seconds. He wears them everywhere (within the confines of our own house of course!) I even found them on his feet last night in his crib.
I find it a bit funny that Jeramie has so problem with Greyson proudly sporting his pretty, purple fetish; because I was under strict orders to never put anything "girly" on my boys, he doesn't find it funny, or amusing, just WRONG, plain old wrong. Maybe he feels that now that I finally have an outlet for my inner PINK (enter my princess Addison) his boys are safe and free to explore their silly two year old obsessions.....even if that is a pair of sparkly, purple slippers.
