Quick story about the picture below
The other day I went to Target to buy Colin rain boots. He didn’t like the blue ones, in fact he didn’t really want any at all - but he did want the rake and shovel that matched these boots. So I ended up getting them. I brought them home and Chuck said they were too girly (I think they are unisex). I put them into the car to return.
Well the next day I had to take Colin to the doctor and he would not get his shoes on or get in the car (you would think I could overpower a 26 pound 2 year old but he is amazingly strong and squirmy) - so I put him in the car without shoes and said we would put them on when we got there. Of course I forgot to bring any shoes with us, I saw the boots and I put them on him, planning on only walking into the dr. and then returning them…but he scuffed them all up, so now they are his rain boots and Chuck still thinks they are girly.
My nephew, who is 7, has the same kind of rain boots. He likes them, but I think he gets teased a bit at school for them. They look unisex to me, but they are flamboyant. At Colin’s age, I think he’ll be fine.
yeah, I vote for them being girly…they do have rainbows on them after all. not that there is anything wrong with that…
If they were pink with Barbie on them then maybe I’d say yep, they’re definitely girly. Colin can pull off rainbows, no probs.
