I'm going on a pants hunt.

Ok, I know that sounds a little strange and all, a pants hunt! What, you wonder, is a pants hunt? Well, my 7 year old Tucker (whom I suspect is bipolar) has recently decided that he is going to go on a pants strike of sorts. He will only wear 1 pair of pants....not 1 at a time, that would be normal, but 1 ONE pair and one pair only. Not only that but he's decided that none of his underwear feel right anymore either! Ok, well, there is ONE pair of undies he likes and I am having one heck of a time getting him to take them off and change! This is getting to be quite the battle. I am getting so tired of saying things like, "Put the dirty pants BACK in the laundry!" "PLEASE, oh PLEASE change your underwear today!" Oh, and another one......"Tucker, you HAVE to wear socks with your tennies, your feet smell like they are rotting!" Yep, he hates all socks now too! Needless to say, I have, for the past several days, been on a pants hunt. I have bought several pairs of pants and he does like them all for a day. By now I have learned to leave all tags on until he's actually LEAVING the house. Today, I think we scored big time. I went to the actual mall and I made him go with me. We managed to find 3 pairs of pants he likes and one pair we even got in 2 colors! SO, he now has 5 pairs to choose from! I hope he still likes them tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best part was, they were all on SALE!
