more cool stuff

I know I post about this a lot, but in the spirit of keeping a family record of the cute/funny things the kids do, here we go again...

Today Oliver was getting dressed and picked all his cool stuff to wear again. He also found Brenden's CTR ring and added it to the ensemble. As we were driving to school, he was itemizing all the cool stuff he was wearing: camo pants, cool shoes, short-sleeved Bulldozer Monster Truck shirt with long sleeve camo shirt on underneath, camo socks, cool hat on sideways, and a CTR ring.

With a kid growing up too fast and so obsessed with cool stuff, I really cherish the times when his innocence and innate childishness shine through. And I get sad thinking of the day which surely will come when he realizes that CTR rings, Max & Ruby, and being the smartest kid in class aren't "cool" and starts rejecting them. Is there any hope of avoiding that?

Not Cool?! Never! With that kind of confidence Oliver will be the poster child for "A Style of Our Own."
Love, Grandma Z

PS I also love the video of Brenden snowboarding...and such control. Talk about cool! And I could see the fleeting shadow of what appeared to be a guardian angel following him.

I don't know if there is any way to avoid it, but having wonderful parents like you and Scott sure helps.
