My son is quite a cowboy. For his 3rs birthday party he wanted a “Bucking Bull” birthday party theme. Do you know how difficult it is to buy decorations for a “Bucking Bull” birthday party? The internet and clip art worked great for making the invitations, decorations and birthday cake design. Most of the gifts he recieved had a cowboy theme, so he was thrilled! We got him a cowboy hat, which he loves, (he always used my old cowboy hat).
So now that he has his own to wear, he wears it everywhere! So when we’re out and about he always gets attention and comments from strangers. “Hi cowboy!”, “Howdy partner” or “Look at this cute cowboy!”. The comments from the little kids are the cutest – “Look mom, it’s a cowboy!” His dad took him and his sister to the auction mart and there was a little 4 year old girl there. She was quite intrigued with this little cowboy. She kept asking him if he was a cowboy and if he rode bucking bulls. The last time I took him to the auction mart, one of the cattle buyers bought the little cowboy a box of smarties to share with his sister.
I guess it must be quite natural for him because he doesn’t seem to notice the attention most of the time and if he does notice, he just says matter of factly, “Yup, I’m a cowboy.”
