Each year at preschool, they have a week where they celebrate our great state. Cowboy breakfasts of biscuits and gravy entice little tummies who are only used to the usual oatmeal or cereal for breakfast. Relay games of filling iron skillets with corn and beans provide something new and exciting for anxious little bodies in the springtime. But dressing up as a cowboy or cowgirl has to be the best part.
My little cowgirl got boots for Christmas which she proudly wore for the occasion but longed for a "real" cowboy hat. Now, I had to nicely tell her that a Stetson wasn't in the budget for a small dress-up day at preschool but she insisted that she needed one to complete her cowgirl attire. Thankfully, Daddy had a number of cowboy hats in the top of his closet which hadn't been worn since his college days. He happily got one down for his little cowgirl and let her take it to school for the day. She was more than delighted and most proudly wore her Daddy's hat to school.
