When my daughter was approaching her 4th birthday I ask her what she would like for her birthday. “I want cowboy boots and the clothes that goes with them.” I quizzed her to see if she meant jeans, etc. No she had watched a rodeo with us and she wanted the western wear the girls wore in the parade and cowboy boots.
We lived in San Antonio, Tx at the time and so there was no problem getting, this very feminine, lace and ruffle girl, cowboy boots and western wear.
She did receive her boots for her birthday and loved them. She would not take them off. No problem until Sunday. I went to dress her for Sunday School and allowed her to pick out her dress. She picked out a beautiful full skirted dress with ruffled slip….very “girly”. Then I started to put her fancy socks on and she said “no Mommy, my boots will hurt with those socks.” I explained we don’t wear boots with our nice Sunday Dresses. we wear those with our jeans. “Not today Mommy, today we wear our boots with our nice Sunday dress.” And she did!!!
