Moms with boys

Help! I am looking for a pair of warm shoes for my little guy. Every store I've been to has at least 4 different styles of warm shoes for girls--the kind that are similar to Ugg boots. Not one pair for boys. Don't boys need warm shoes, too? I did find some on the internet for outrageous prices and some others from a store in China. I can't believe that no stores sell good winter shoes for boys. They must be somewhere! Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Julie said...: I could never find boots for Caleb, but I found some good solid tennis shoes at Kid to Kid and Payless. You could also try Target. When we go in the snow, he wears little attachments from his snowsuit that go over his slippers. And we have him wear a sleeper underneath so the snow doesn't get inside to his skin. Good luck.; January 16, 2010 at 9:23 PM
Melissa said...: I wish I still had the little sizes for you, but alas, they are here no more. I would seriously try Savers.....you never know what you're going to find there....if you're into used items. I am, so I always found great deals. What size is he? I'll keep my eyes open for you.; January 17, 2010 at 4:06 PM

(At Cabela's, near the big animal mountain, feeding the fish)

Mckay was standing in the back of the cart, leaning on the railing to see the fish. Then, he leaned a little further. His feet left the cart and his cute round head started pulling him over the rail. Even though I was right next to him, with my hand on his back, he easily could have slipped right over the rail and into the fish pond. Of course, he just looked at me, smiled and giggled, then sat down in the cart. I don't think he was scared, but sensed it in me.

Interesting conversations tonight:

C: What is smaller than 0? Negative 1?

B: Yep.

C: (Starts talking about negative infinity, and if that's the "biggest" smallest number)

Seriously..where does he get this?

N: I want to make my Christmas list!

M: What do you want on your list?

N: The Children's Museum. Grandma's Children's Museum! (There's a really fun children's museum in Baltimore.)

M: Hmm..Can you choose something smaller?

N: (Whispering) A small children's museum.

Brian, Camden, Nate, and I were sitting on the couch for family prayer before bed. Just after we finished, Camden reached his toes up to his head and scratched his forehead. "I can scratch my head like a dog!" Then he reached his foot back and used his toes to scratch his ear. We never know what to expect from him!

Jan 13, 2013
At church, there was one bank of lights on the side of the church that wasn't turned on. No one would even notice. Unless that person is Nate.
N: "Uh oh" (point and pause) "Uh oh" (point and pause) "Uh oh".
M: "Are the lights turned off?"
N: "Uh-HUH!!! Uh oh" (pause and point) "Uh oh"
Repeat.

Nate: Buh a boh! (peek a boo!)

Nate: Hot hot hot! (looking at a picture that had a candle and flame in it)

Dec 2012
M: Nate looks so tired. He's ready for a nap.
C: But I'm not sleepy in the least.

February 9 2012
Camden's train of thought can be so random at times. We laugh a lot and also spend a lot of time trying to figure out what he's talking about.
C: Is that Mary and baby Jesus? (Looking at the picture of Mary praying with Jesus as a little boy.)
M: That's Mary with little boy Jesus. Do you like to pray?
C: Yes, but don't kiss me or eat me.

C: I get marshmallows now. That's the only choice."

B: You are stinkin' cute!
C: Sink toot! Sink toot! (Stinkin' cute) Dad sink too! Mom sink too! Nate sink too! Me sink too! (I guess we are all pretty stinky!)

June 6, 2011
Michelle: "Do you need a change? Are you stinky?" (He was in desperate need of a change.)
Camden: "No change. Nate change!"

June 5, 2011 (At Bedtime):
Brian: "Was Mormon brave?"
Camden: "Brave. Di brave. Ammon brave. Queen brave. Sarge brave. Mate brave too." (Abinadi, "Cars" characters)

June 5, 2011 (During a testimony meeting):
After too many women spoke in a row: "Boys...church...true"

June 4, 2011
Mom: "Camden is so cute!"
Camden: "No Tammen (how he says Camden) toot (cute).
Queen toot. Mate toot. Dad toot. No Tammen
toot." (Lightning McQueen and Mater)
