Sized Up

This is the first post for my blog. I hope that I can post on a regular basis given that I have a pretty busy schedule. Ah....but who doesn't now days. I will try to keep it interesting but to be honest there are days that are dull and mundane. So I apologize right off the bat. Well, with that said, here it goes.

On Saturday mornings Wendy and the girls go to Cricket Academy, a Chinese language school. So, I get the morning to myself. I usually work around the house or workout since I slept in. But today, I did some shopping since I can get it done in about a quarter of the time without the girls. Woodman's, Kohl's and The Children's Place at Southridge Mall in Milwaukee were my stops. It seems that we need to eat and Katie is growing without my consent. 

All went well but at The Children's Place I got 'The Look'. 'The Look' can be described as 'why is this 6'1" 230 pound guy shopping for girls clothes'. It can happen when I am with or without my girls but mostly it happens without. So, while looking for pants, one mom with two young kids, gave me 'The Look' and quickly gathered her little chicks under her wing for safety.

I understand why some moms react that way. The world is not a safe place and caution is a good thing. On the other hand, we do live a society where men can and do raise the kids and shop for clothes.  So moms, when you see a Clydesdale of a man shopping for girls clothes, it's OK. He is a stay at home dad.

Oh, and my oldest sized up from the T's to girls clothes. My wife and I shed a tear as she tried them on. They fit her perfectly.
