Silly Sock Day

 

This week is Red Ribbon Week, the anti-drug campaign.  The ECDC is celebrating in full force.  Each class has decorated a door.  Gavin is posing with his class' door.  Dave and I found it a bit ironic that he's posing with the door and pray he is reformed after his trip to the ER in February for his Benadryl-overdose.  (We have to laugh now, but I shed lots of tears then.)

Each day, the kids have a dress up theme, Monday was easy:  red shirt.  We have lots of red shirts since G and I love red.

Today was a bit of a challenge:  crazy socks.  I didn't think G would care, but this morning he pouted a little that he didn't have silly socks.  So, Dave did what any good dad would do:  he got out the Sharpies and decorated a plain pair of socks.  I had toyed with the idea of mixing socks to be silly.  G decided that wearing socks as mittens is silly. So, he went to school wearing his silly sock mittens.  And after school we went into TJ Maxx and Carter's that way.  Oh well . . . I don't know those people who judged my three-year-old as "odd."  He's an original, and I couldn't love him more.

Gavin requested a red ghost on his sock.
