Today was picture day at the kid's school and I let them pick out what they wanted to have their pictures made in.
Now, normally this might be an interesting experience to let a 9 year old boy pick out his clothes. Given he'd probably choose a t-shirt that he may have even picked up off the floor from the other day that didn't quite make it to the hamper.
Ben, however, has been a little more interested in his attire lately. Why? Not sure. Guess he's just growing up.
So he picked out some jeans (it was going to be cool outside today) and the black button-up shirt he wore to his PaPa's funeral 2 months ago. He loved the way he looked that day. Partly because he thought he looked just like his daddy. i.e. his hero.
Today after school we had the following conversation:
Ben: Mom. I really liked the way I looked today. These dark jeans and black shirt really look good on me.
Me: I agree totally. You look very handsome.
Ben: Yeah. Now all I gotta do is get healthier and build up some muscle.
Me: Ummmm...yeah. You could do that.
Ben: Yeah. I think I will.
Just the best darn boy in the world. Love him!!
