We went out today to do a little shopping before Gene starts band camp next week. We ran to Academy and WalMart. As with most shopping trips, it all starts with reviewing the rules with Austin. No running, no climbing on things, no touching things we're not supposed to, stay with Mommy/Daddy at all times, no acting like a wild man in the store. Seems like there are a lot of "No's" in our house. If rules are not reviewed on a regular basis, Austin just runs wild. Is this being 4? Is this being a boy? Or both? Anyway...
While we were at Academy, we were looking at sunglasses for Gene and Austin saw the nice watches in the case. Of course, he wanted one. I told him those were for really big boys and that, if he followed the rules, we could get a watch especially for him.
At the end of the trip, he was quick to point out that he'd been a good boy. So, we picked out our new watch. He chose Spider Man. In the car he put it on and said, "Boys like Spider Man. Girls like princesses."
