Stratton Boy

Stratton had been telling me for a while now that he would like a tie to wear to church like his Dad does. So, I went and got him one and this past Sunday was his first attempt at wearing it. He looked adorable all dressed up. His white shirt nicely tucked into his black corduroy pants. Shiny black shoes (which he told me hurt his feet but I told him it was a good thing he didn't have to walk too far at church and he'd be fine), snazzy tie, combed hair. He was ready to go. I just had to take a picture to document the occasion but I really should have taken a "Before" and "After" just so everyone could see that this look certainly didn't last for three hours of church. When he came to find me after his class he had a bit of a different look. His shirt was untucked, the shoes were untied and his tie wasn't under his shirt collar any more but actually around his neck. Well...it was a good first try!

Funny you would post that! Jam wanted a tie too so we bought him a kid one from Children's place and before we left the store he could take it on and off behind his head. This week after church was over, he had it in pieces scattered around the building in a matter of minutes! Stratton sure looks good in his and probably won't tear his apart!
