The Tale of the Coveted Pink Coat...

While plaing at Grandma Riggs one Sunday Jackson spotted his cousin Lily's too small pink winter coat. He couldn't get enough of it. It was love at first sight. He wore it everywhere at Grandma's house. Despite sweating from the heat and not being able to use his arms properly, he had an honest-to-goodness breaksown when we pried it off to go home for the day. Grandma said take it home, we'll get it later. At which point Lily decided that she needed the coat just as badly as Jackson and she needed it now! After a small bribe of ice cream she decided we could drive away, with coat in Jackson's arms. He found it every morning despite our efforts to hide it every night. For 5 days he could think of nothing else and we decided we needed to give it back to the rightful owner before Jackson has heat stroke ;) What a funny little boy! Hopefully he will be able to find more "manly" things to play with soon!

It's so funny how kids get to hooked onto random things. He can borrow some of our pink things any day!
