I AM going to be that parent that sets rules for what my child will wear. My husband is the same, as is my cousin, Derek. OUR sons will not, NOT look... well, there are a string of words to describe the way we don't want our boys to look, but I don't want to offend anyone.

My son's name is not Jim Bob. It's not Bubba. It's not Jesse Joe or Cletus. My son is not going to be going hunting any time soon. He is not from backwater, TX. He's not a hick. Camouflage is not okay in this way. I have a pair of generic camouflage shorts for him to wear with t-shirts and what not. But 'Real Tree' and 'Mossy Oak' do not belong on my infant. Well, in my opinion, they don't belong anywhere but in the field when you're hunting. Camouflage is never, EVER okay.

Ah. Hm. Zach said if one of your first thoughts is "fabulous" then you shouldn't even go there. You shouldn't go here, either. It's so, SO not cute. You can buy all the smocking and embroidery you want if we ever have a little girl, but until that time- keep it locked up. Gag me.

Basically, if it's not aTm, don't bother. Zach and I both attend A&M, that's what we'll be willing to put on our child. You can't even make an excuse for the child's grandparents because both paternal grandparents attended Southwest Texas- which doesn't exist anymore by name, so it'd be dumb to buy Texas State stuff, and the maternal grandfather attended Emporia State- good luck finding infant stuff there. We don't support KU, we don't have any friendly feelings, so my family needs to avoid the impulse. Texas family- if you buy t.u. stuff for my son, I will throw it away. I don't want to clothe my sweet baby in fabric the color of his stool. Ew. Besides, I do not see the need to put a baby in collegiate clothing that represents anything other than the parent's alma mater... it just looks like you're a "poser" if you do.

Being honest, I'm not a huge NFL fan anyway. I don't watch the Texans every weekend they're playing, but since we're from Houston, and I have nothing against them, I'll be more than willing to put Houston professional sports team paraphernalia on the boy. However, I don't like the NFL that much, so I don't care how masculine people think it is to put a boy in sports clothes every day, we're not going to put our baby in stuff from teams that don't matter one way or the other.
(of course, for Cory, I'll make an exception if something Spurs related comes our way- but only if it's from Cory and that's the only way...)
Thus far, that's what I have as far as rules go for baby shopping. We're all about the puppies (because kitties are for girls!), and dinosaurs and fish, sharks and various other sea creatures. We like airplanes and boats- but I'm not a big fan of cars and trucks. I think they're a little cutesy and cliche. Basically, after the boy outgrows all the stuff we're given at showers and what not, then we can really set about establishing the boundaries.
