[...] And again in February, baptizing the floors in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom on the evening of his own baptism. [...]

Very smart! My mother-in-law picked one up at TJ Maxx (it’s too small, so we have to return it) but it smells awful. I like this idea…

He’s definitely rocking those sneakers – the whole ensemble is fantastic. And you’re too funny! Loved your recounting.

Still laughing at this. So funny and so true. The shoes, the outfit and the smile are all perfectly little boy heaven.

Adrianne,

I had it made at a very reasonably tailor near me. It was much cheaper than anything (decent) I found online or in stores. That’s another thing about little boys–the baptism outfits for toddlers or small boys are either prohibitively expensive or cheap satin nightmares. I can’t remember for sure, but I believe it is a Vogue pattern. You can find it at any JoAnns.

Oh man, we have our 10-month-old’s baptism coming up on Easter Sunday. This was the kick in the pants I needed! I am so ordering his outfit right now. Where did you get his outfit? He’s adorable!

I’m so sorry :). I totally feel your pain. I made the 11 year old squeeze his borderline manly feet into too-small dress shoes for months because I couldn’t stand that man dress shoes cost roughly twice what boy shoes cost. Even at payless. :) I love the tan kicks. And that outfit! Too cute. My solution for all boy shoe issues is Converse.

I love this post. And NOTED on the boys shoe selection.

This is why I put Troy in Converse for everything. I am too busy buying Zoe sparkly stuff.

The Payless kicks were a double good call; he looks ADORABLE.

Too funny! Our first was a girl (she’s 2.5) and my friends with boys always told me the girl section was at least 2x bigger than the boy clothes section. I never looked at boy clothes, but I know they’re correct. I must admit I do love dressing Sophia cutely (new word invention). But she’s going to get a baby brother in two months and we’re excited about that! We didn’t find out what sex she’d be, so it was a new experience to get a bunch of baby boy things on the super-duper clearances! I must add one thing on the plus side for dressing a boy, though. I thought it was easier buying for him because I didn’t have to think about seasons quite so much. Pants? Check! Doesn’t matter what season because boys wear pants 365 days/year! Living in Seattle it doesn’t (usually) get super hot, so I just got a bunch of pants and shirts and a few sweatshirts and called it good! So I have to say in that respect it was easier. For what it’s worth! I think the shoes you got were smart because they look like he’ll be able to wear them for many other occasions too!
