Really, People?

It's been a while!! Not that I haven't had plenty to write about...guess it's been more about the plenty of time, or lack thereof.  Life has been as eventful as ever, that's for sure...

I'm prompted today to write because I've received some flak for taking my 5 year old baby boy for a pedicure. You know who you are, those people voicing opinions. I honestly don't see what the big deal is...my mom and I were going, he wanted to come along. He didn't get his toes painted...and he's very manly. Besides, men DO get pedicures and I'm fairly certain that the women behind those men thoroughly appreciate the fact that they don't have yucky, rough feet.  I didn't give this miniature spa treatment a second thought...until the second "comment" rolled in. Now I'm thinking...

I'm thinking that you people are weird and uptight. I'm thinking that I don't judge you, so you shouldn't judge me. I'm thinking that there are so many more important things to worry about in this world than me taking my tiny guy for a pedi on a beautiful Friday afternoon.  It's called quality time...and if he enjoys it and wants to spend time with me doing it, then who cares!! Just for the record, he spent the rest of his weekend doing tricks on his bike, ripping scabs open, playing sports & throwing elbows in his soccer game, talking about how hot beautiful his friend Matthew's sister is and going on roller coasters in the dark.  I'm pretty sure I haven't feminized him too much...I'd say he's pretty well rounded.

Really, people?!?

good for you! I actually took my 5 yr old boy to the toy store yesterday and he spent some time in the "girl" aisles oohing and aahing over some of the toys and I felt a few looks but who cares.

Just like your little guy, he's all boy in every other way! He had some of his own money to spend and he chose to buy legos, not barbie.

I would definitely not think twice about taking him for a pedicure... although my husband might try to stop me, lol.

Didn't you hear Jen? We have amazing powers as Moms. We can actually effect someones sexual preferences in adulthood by our actions when they are children. So good job "making" Ry gay(not that theres anything wrong with that) Jen. Keep up the good work!!!
