Happy New Year! I took a picture of Simon on the front porch today, all cleaned up and ready for services. For Yom Kippur, we’re going to get fancy and debut a tie, which I am somewhat ashamed to admit the boy has never worn. As for the shoes . . . I’ll give you two explanations and you can decide which one is the truth:
- I was trying for a boy-band, Boden catalog cool look, and bright sneakers were the way to go!
- I spent the better part of a day looking for dress shoes and found none (not one!) that would fit his skinny foot. My last hope is Zappos.
Appropriate shoes or no, I was somewhat shocked at how grown up he looked out of his regular casual play clothes. Can’t wait to see how the tie adds to the effect.
