Yesterday Reagan asked, "Mom, can I have some 'Skechers'?" To which Mike and I replied by letting her know if she saved up her money she could go buy a pair. Mike mentioned that he thought it was wonderful that she wanted to go get herself a good pair of expensive, sturdy shoes. She looked at me with a sad look in her eyes and said, "But Mom, they're the shoes that give you air with every step you take." We both giggled a little and reminded her that if she saved up her money (and we shared ideas on how to earn extra money) she could definitely get a pair.
So I guess I will be coming up with some extra chores to assist Reagan in creating some money for her Skechers. Heaven forbid she wear a pair of shoes that don't give her any air!
I just can't believe all this stuff starts at age 6. I don't remember really getting into name brand clothing until I was around 11 or 12. Maybe my memory is skewed though.

That is crazy! I don't know that Noah has asked us for anything name brand yet. Maybe we dodged a bullet up until now. I am sure she will be a diligent little chore doer to get her Sketchers. :)
that is so funny...how cute of her. just wait until they want a cell phone though, or even a myspace page...but by then it may be another type of gadget or myspace will have maybe lost its touch?...haha be prepared im telling you now..lol
(im sure you already know though)
my oldest got a cell phone at 12, she's now 14. i didn't get my first cell phone until i was in my early 20's!!!
Yeah, times are different. I remember wanting a pair of guess overalls. I was in the sixth grade. I don't remember caring before then. I too had to earn my own money. It kills me to think what I paid for them now! Savannah has a friend who has "everything". She got an early b-day present which was a nintendo DS and her real b-day present happens next week. They are going to Disneyland. How do I compete with that? Savannah asked if Santa would bring her a nintendo DS and I already told her that Santa doesn't bring things that cost that much. There is no way! Both for budget and for principle!. Glad to hear I'm not alone in this one.Hope she can find some that giver her "air". That's pretty funny!
Oh the things they learn from school huh. Good luck with all that :)
