When I was 10 years old or there abouts, my Mother came up with the idea that if she let me get my hair cut at a real beauty salon I just might realize that it's not so bad looking like a girl. A good idea to be sure but she made one fatal mistake. She dropped me off and said she'd be back to pick me up in half an hour, without having talked to the hair stylist. "Great!" I thought. I can get any hair cut I want! And I did. And a lovely shag it is too.And that brings us to today where Scott left the responsibility of picking out some new shoes, shorts and a hat for Eve. So I mosey on over to the children's consignment store across the street and this is the end result. As we were walking to the park afterwards people kept on complimenting me on how cute my little boy was (something my poor Mother heard about her 2nd-to-youngest daughter until I was 13 years old).
Like my Mother who never dropped me off alone at a salon again, I don't think Scott will let me do the shopping for Eve by myself anymore.
You've got to admit, those are pretty sweet shoes.
Raised in a small South Dakota mining town where he learned the value of a sturdy pickaxe and native tubers, Scott is a man's man who knows the meaning of the word testosterone. Apart from devouring freshly slain beasts of the forest, Scott enjoys sharpening his tools, lifting heavy objects, and throwing a ball at a hoop suspended ten feet off of the ground. He also enjoys Romantic Era poetry and Italian cooking.

She's adorable.. and the funny thing is I have been waiting for McConnell to get old enough to wear those same exact shoes!! Nice try Scott..don't worry Ben dresses Abby like a little boy too... it's good for em'..builds character!
People thought Claire was a boy at that age regardless of what she was wearing...there's only so much you can do. I do love the shoes. Claire had a similar pair, only they were navy blue with light blue stripes. Maybe people judge gender by footwear?
According to America's Next Top Model. Being able to pull off both genders is a real plus, says Tyra Banks. Now shes a credible source.
