It's All In The Shoes

As you know, with Toots, all clothing must be either a costume or a sports uniform. I try my best to get him into normal cute clothing, but it us usually a battle I don't want to participate in.
So, the other day, we went to buy some new school shoes and he picked out some SKATE shoes.
He logically deduced- if you have skate shoes, you had better get on a
SKATEBOARD.
Mister Luke scrounged through our garage and geared this boy up to the max.
He got a little dirty

and learned some new moves

and took some spills
and his mother gasped loudly many times
and said many silent prayers

Photobucket
but Toots got up every time with no tears and
tried and tried again as the old saying goes

Photobucket
and the board slipped from under him and skated away from him and
taunted him with its rollerability

Photobucket
and he got up and told that board that he
would be the master

Photobucket
but that board was not to be taken easily and it soon knocked him down again

Photobucket

and we decided we had missed a spot of protection

Photobucket
perhaps some Charmin padding would be in order
next time because
this little four year old was now
DIRTY, SWEATY and TIRED
Photobucket
but, still feeling like one cool kid!

That's awesome! Reminds me of all the cool skater guys I grew up with in California.

I never would have guessed he was only 4. He looks much older!

And I love the story in pictures.

I didn't even recognize him in that 1st picture. Joe said he was doing great! Those pictures are the BEST! Move over Tony Hawk, you might have some competition soon! If anyone could do it.. Ty is the guy! He NEVER gives up.. EVER!!!!
