I was blessed with two daughters, then two granddaughters. I had no trouble buying little trinkets and fancy princess things for the girls. Then I was blessed with a grandson. I love him the same as the girls but I have a harder time trying to find little things to buy for him. I'm also not good at buying little boy clothes. I'm partial to the frilly, cute girl clothes. Sorry, Nate. I hope you know that it doesn't mean I love you less 'cause that's surely not the case.
A few years back we fixed up one of our bedrooms for the girls. I got them princess sheets with princess pillowcases. At the time Nate was in the crib so it wasn't a problem. Now he's sleeping in a toddler bed in our bedroom when they come to visit and I have looked all over for a special pillow case to put on his bed for him to sleep on. There just isn't much out there for boys. I did find a few twin bed sets, but the bed isn't a twin and he doesn't even have a twin bed at home. It finally occurred to me that I could buy some material and make him a pillowcase. I was lucky to find some "digger man" printed flannel. It didn't take but a few minutes to put the pillow case together for him. I hope he likes it!!
This "digger man" pattern is just perfect for Nate!
He'll love it. I asked him what he wants to be again the other day and he told me, "A digger man and a boy ballet teacher." Can you tell he's surrounded by sisters?
