So...Alex is 15. And every day he falls asleep in the car. EVERY DAY. And I know teens are naturally sleepy, and I know he's not getting nearly enough sleep. Yesterday on the way home he announced that he doesn't have any homework, and wanted to know if he could "take a nap" when he got home. Ummmm, sure.
Yeah, he woke up this morning. 13 hours the child slept. oy! He says he feels fine, no headache, no throat problems, no stomach ache. So we all know what this means, right? Yeah, I'll be buying him new pants. Seriously, if that kids inseam goes up again I'm going to light myself on fire. He's grown 2 inches or more since March. I thought I had him set for jeans and uniform pants, but now I'm worried that he's going to look like Urkel.
AND - I totally busted him this morning committing the sin of all fashion sins. He's got gym this semester. So instead of wearing black socks with his navy pants and his black dress shoes like he's done all year, he's wearing WHITE socks. And not just any white socks, white ANKLE socks. In the freezing damn cold. Oh for the love. Have I taught him nothing?? No. Noooooooooooooooo. He said it's because of gym - so he doesn't have to change his socks before and after gym. But you're changing your shirt and your shorts already, right? And your shoes, right? So you're telling me it's THAT much harder to also change your socks that you are willing to look like a total tool with white shorty socks and black shoes all day?? No. I forbid it. I told him so. NO. I disallow it. NO. NO. I finally, FINALLY got Kevin to stop doing it, and now my 15-year-old starts. NO. He says other kids do it. NO. I cannot budge on this one.
