He had a different backpack for the first day of school yesterday, this morning he chose the Lands End backpack that I received at an event (poor little rich kid type of situation for my son – too many choices thanks to his blogging dad!)
I just sat back and watched as the backpack dictated the rest of the outfit. He had to match the style of the backpack. He started with green camouflage shorts but ended up with these pants when I wasn’t looking. I had gotten rid of the green camo shirt earlier in the summer, so he had to wear the black camo one and then get rid of the green camo shorts. And all this before 8 am in the morning.
When I asked to take these “back to school” pictures I received the perfect teenage looking attitude as you can see below. And he’s only 8! Everyone has been posting back to school pics and I wanted to get in on the act, maybe I should have waited a year!
Disclosure: I received the Lands End backpack at an event over the summer. No other compensation was received and all opinions are that of my son!
love the ‘tude, my almost-eight-year-old was sporting a similar one. and a similar backpack from the same event!
happy back to school!
You are such a great dad taking so much interest in getting your son ready for school. He is lucky to have you and vice versa!
Wow, look at the outfit, your son is great at matching. Nice backpack, I know Lands Ends has great quality products.
Looking good, Paul!
