Football!

So a couple of months ago I had to drop some things off at the DI. Tayton thinks the DI is the greatest store in the world because the toys are not in boxes and you can actually play with them. So why we were there I told him he could get one toy. He spent about 20 minutes in the toy section and he couldn't find what he wanted. Then all of the sudden he yelled "Mom, I found it!" I looked over and this is what he found!



He loves this football helmet. (Which it really is a baseball helmet, but don't tell Tayton that) He wore it the rest of the day and even tried to go to bed with it on :) He is such a funny boy. One day he even wore it in the grocery store and the bank. Everyone was staring at him. Some people realized he was pretending to be a football guy, other people thought I was crazy, and then one lady even asked me if he had an injury so he had to wear a helmet so he wouldn't get brain damage if he fell. My real reason why I let him wear it anywhere is because Tayton is a very challenging little boy. He likes to fight you on everything. I have decided I am going to let him wear anything he wants during the day, except I will pick his outfits for church or if there is something important. So here are just a few more pictures with the football helmet.



In this next picture he is once again trying to go to sleep with the helmet on.



Speaking of football, Tayton loves this little yellow outfit. And when I say little I mean little. It is size 18 months. My boy is almost 4! He loves, loves, loves this outfit. He will put it on anytime he sees it. If I have just finished the laundry and he sees it he will take off whatever he is wearing and put it on. He will even put pants on underneath it, if it is too cold. Part of me wants to hide it so he can't wear it anymore because it is way too small, but the other half of me wants to keep him in it forever. I have tried to buy other football outfits, but it has not been successful. He just loves this one. So if anyone can find an exact copy of this outfit in a bigger size please let me know!


Here is a picture of Tayton and dad when it actually fit him. I think Tayton is about 18 months old in this picture.


This picture is when we were at Lake Mead two summers ago. Starting to get a little too tight. And now he can barely take it off because it is too tight on him. I guess the poor kid is just going to have to realize sooner or later he is growing up.
