my boy...

My sweet love Graedon will turn 6 this Sunday. I have mixed feelings about this. I don't want him to grow up but then again I'm enjoying watching him grow up.

All he wanted for his birthday was a leather bomber jacket like the one he saw at the Air Museum. The one that was $60. I almost caved and bought it when he looked at me with those wonderful Graedon eyes but sanity returned to me and I told him we would look on eBay when we got home.

So we did. We found a size 5 bomber jacket for $10. We got it and this is what it looked like.



Um, it was a size 3T. Grae loved it of course but I told him we had to send it back. So we did.

Then we found a size 6/8 bomber jacket for more money but nicer quality. We got it and this is what it looks like. (excuse the bad picture and the Molly blur in the background. Oh and the mess).


Perfect fit. Of course it's too hot to wear it today but it's big enough for winter. And Grae is happy which doesn't look like it in this picture. He had on his "serious" face. His serious "I'm going to bomb people" face. Or at least that's what he told me. Now he wants bombs for his birthday.

Did he look at you with melting eyes when he asked for bombs?

Yes he did Amanda. However, I won't buy him bombs as I have no idea where to get them. :)
