Mile stone

It is a sad, sad day when your little boy's bum gets too big for the cartoon underwear.  We were packing for a trip to visit my mom and dad for Spring break.  I checked Brayden's suit case after he "packed" it.  One of the many issues was that there were only two pairs of underwear.

Me:  "You are taking two pairs of underwear for 6 days?"

B: "Yep!"

Me:  "Do you think that might be a problem?" 

Side note:  I had finished all of the laundry so everything was ready to be packed.  B failed to put all of his clothes in the hamper, therefore some of his underwear was dirty and still on his floor. 

B:  "I don't like any of the other pairs that I have."

Me:  "What's wrong with them?"

B:  "They are too tight."

All righty then, we can probably remedy this.  Meanwhile, as I am digging through his drawer he bolted into my room.  He came back in and shoved more underwear into his suitcase. 

Me:  "Where did you get those?"

B: "The hamper."

Me:  "Ugh, I think dirty underwear may be worse than no underwear, what do you think?"

Smile wide on his face, just shrugged and giggled.

That brings us to today......shopping at Fred Meyer to pick up some road trip snacks and new underwear for the boy.  He migrated to the Angry Bird underwear.  Unfortunately, it wasn't big enough.....our only choices were white briefs or colored boxer briefs.  He was as crestfallen as I was.  :(  

I may just have to go search out some stores at the mall.  I don't want my boy to have to wear plain jane underwear quite yet.  He has to stay a kid/boy for a little bit longer.......
