It was my youngest sons 8th birthday this weekend. Looking through his wardrobe I realised he was in need of something smart to wear to his party - he lives in tracksuit bottoms, but I thought - just this once it would be nice to see him in something smarter. Into town I went, to search for something that I would like - and he would tolerate!:)
I found, what I thought was, a lovely shirt and pair of trousers.
At home, later that morning he tried them on.
I braced myself for the usual " Oh but Muuum, it's not comfy, can't I wear my tracksuit?"
But no.....he looked himself up and down said "Oooh, these are nice" and ran to the mirror in my bedroom to have a look.
I have never seen him express much interest in clothes (apart from tracksuits , of course) - so it was quite a surprise when he literally started jumping up and down and dancing about in front of the mirror - shouting "Yay! I look cool!"
Well, that's what gave me the idea for this proud little boy looking into the mirror at his new party clothes. Funny how inspiration sometimes just comes at the right moment.
