Mellow Yellow



This is not the greatest picture in the world (mom can't seem to take pictures away from the sun) but I had to tell the story, so whatta gonna do! This was at Nathan's birthday party on Saturday and I just wanted to point out the yellow shoes. My mom and dad got them for him a couple of days before and I can't even believe they actually have yell0w shoes and that I have been able to avoid them thus far! Yes, my son LOVES the color yellow, which is kinda funny considering I would NEVER wear it or own anything yellow. Yes, I would actually say I hated the color yellow until it became Nathan's favorite color. He assures me it is such a happy color and honestly I look at it totally different now. I choose to pick my battles and have managed to get it down to only 3 or 4 days of yellow clothing a week. If yellow is the worst thing he is into I think I am safe (at least for now - yellow hair would definitely be out of the question!) My favorite thing he said about the shoes is "Mom, these are so great, they will go with EVERYTHING I have. I love them!" You go boy, and if yellow makes you happy then I am happy!

Is it okay to admit I HAVE THOSE EXACT SHOES! I love yellow too :) Although if you ask Dustin, she will tell you I hate yellow paint. Go figure. I think having yellow walls for 8 years can do that to a person.

Cute photo. Looks like a layout in the making.
