Snips & Snail & Puppy Dog Tails! For heaven's sake.

So Pierre & I were picking up a few things at Alberston's tonight when a little boy runs past yelling, "Mommy mommy I saw another baby girl!" The mom asks, "where?" and he points directly at Beau. "Oh what a pretty little girl," she says.
Pierre thinks it's stupid and mutters under his breath that there is nothing girlie about him.

We head to the check out and our cashier is a familiar face (every time we are in the store she says "I love you. Oh yes, I love you" in a baby-talkin' voice to B and gushes about how lucky we are....naturally I like this woman.)
So our-friend-the-cashier, the bagger and the neighbor cashier all begin commenting on our "beautiful little girl." Pierre corrected them multiple times to no avail. Each time someone says "girl" (which must've been at least 20 times) Pierre grows angrier and I laugh harder. I'm trying so hard to be polite and choke the laughter that I'm snorting.

Anway, so the news is that our little guy is losing his long locks and will soon be sportin' a crew cut.

  1. what?! those people are all STRANGE, val! bradshaw TOTALLY looks like a boy - undeniably! maybe he was wearing something that had some pink in it, so they got confused? who knows.
    What I would do if that happened to me is, I would dress him in "undeniably Boyish" clothing, rather than cut his GORGEOUS hair! That would be so sad! He has such beautiful hair!

    ANd they're all crazy, anyways. He TOTALLY looks like a little boy!

    :) love ya! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

  2. There is absolutely nothing girly about that little man.... please do
    not cut too much. His wake up hair reminds me so much of little Nelson and he is adorable. I love your new bio pictures. What a gorgeous family! xoxoxox mom

  3. Don't worry Dustinn, Bradshaw is a manly man's man.
    >Jackson use to get called a girl if he wore any color other than blue. But I take it as a compliment - they are beautiful boys.
    Just follow the girl comment with "He's a boy - but he's a looker isn't he. He's gonna be a heart-breaker"

  4. Hahaha! I like Bradshaw's hair how it is. I don't think he looks girlie since I have girls... But that's still pretty funny. I think my girls have been mistaken for boys once or twice when they were wearing boy colors. It's annoying. Most of the time I will never assume the sex of a child. I'll say your baby/little one is so cute or something.

  5. If it makes you feel any better, 9 out of 10 people think ellie is a boy even when she is in head to toe pink.

  7. Ellie is ever so petite, sweet & girlie! If anyone could make that mistake with her then we have to allow some error. Thanks Katie that does make me feel better. =)
