In conjunction with my previous post, I realized something as I looked at the pictures I took. Officially, I will announce that I have to eat my words. I swore that I would never allow character shirts, especially to school.
I am munching on those words.
Because of their precious dimples.
Because of their great smiles.
Because those silly t-shirts are the first ones they put on after the wash is done.
I am chewing up and swallowing those words.
Because they say things like, "I am good Jengo Fett with a lightsaber and force choke and shock."--all in one breath.
Because I am a mother of boys.
You know, those words don't taste half-bad after all.

I said the same thing, Sara...but Jack's favorite shirts are his "Speed Racer" and "Spiderman" shirts. He BEGGED me at Walmart, hah...so I let him get them. You are a good mom.
I never really cared when my kids were little, but I look back and think, what was I thinking. I guess it is the fun part of being a kid and if they are happy, we are happy. Hey and dark blue looks better than an orange or green shirt that they could have picked out.
Ericson could make a Star Wars quilt with all of his Star Wars shirts. Happy Eating!
Yes, I've had to eat most of my pre-mom-of-boy words. But I have made one rule, they can have the t-shirts but NOT the shoes! I have to put my foot down somewhere, right?
Yep, I'm with ya. Carter had Lighting McQueen shoes in Kindergarten. The only one I say no on for school is Sponge Bob because....it's Sponge Bob. Star Wars is still cool, but Sponge Bob... You are a good mom.
I had similar views about the T-shirts, just trying to stick with solid colors or patterns. But Star Wars has thwarted my plan as well. I just hate to steal their thunder when it helps them get into character, right. Besides, we could always use an extra defender of the universe at our house.
