I believe they are taking nominations for 2010 Mother of the Year. Please go ahead and write me in.
I sent my daughter to school in rain boots that were two sizes too small.
She mentioned that they didn't feel right. And that her toes were at the end.
I politely told her there was no way on earth her feet could have grown that much in a few days (she wore them last week). I told her she would be fine, and suggested that she adjust her socks. And to go ahead and get in the car.
Because she is a compliant child, she did just that.
Around 12:00 I needed to run an errand so I went to find Allie's rain boots. And noticed they were two sizes too big.
Did I mention that I often dress my girls in matching clothes, shoes, and jackets and occasionally they mix them up?
Oops.
I quickly put Allie in the car, drove to school, and gave the appropriate sized rain boots to Lauryn's teacher. Thankfully they were in the gym watching a movie (because it has been raining for 40 days and 40 nights, they didn't have outdoor recess) so my little "drive-by" went undetected by Lauryn.
I hope by the time I pick her up she has regained feeling in her toes.

Aww... She's such a good child.
Don't beat yourself up too badly. Remember, my child is the one who got shocked by the fence and got his arm stuck in his ball popper all in ONE day! If you get nominated, I'm right there with you! lol! Glad to know that her feet haven't grown that quickly! Although at times it probably seems that way.
Oh my gosh! Now that's funny. Your blog entries are awesome and so entertaining! (Poor Lauryn BTW)
Well, at least you made the effort to go back to school and fix it! See - the bright side. :) But I'm still laughing because that's so something I would do.
Too funny! It could be worse...my mom let me wear Keds for a couple months before realizing that one shoe was about two sizes bigger than the other (she bought them that way accidentally)! :)
Are you kidding?! There's NO WAY that story is going to get you Mom of the Year. I have WAY better stories (please see your email for a story to embarassing to share even in the comment section of a public blog).
The most amazing thing about this story is that she hopped in the car and went to school. If I had responded to Hazel that way, she would have taken the boot off her foot and thrown it across the room while screaming "NO! I'M NOT WEARING THOSE!" So now that I think about it, you might just deserve Mom of the Year for raising such a precious child. Obviously I have gone wrong somewhere.
My word verification is taird- SO close to being tard...one of my favorite inappropriate words to use on a very regular basis.
TOO embarassing....TOOOOO!!!!! Man- that makes me angry.
You're hilarious! Cute little Lauryn.
