I NOT wearin' nat girlie dress.

So said my Isaac when faced with the shepherd's costume for his nursery nativity. Even when offered bribes of hard cash and bars of chocolate he steadfastly refused to risk his masculinity in any way. Not a surprise and not the end of the world, I'm pretty sure that those shepherds of old would have loved to be clad in a dude skin sweatshirt and jeans with sturdy boots.
Let me tell you though, my boy sang. Really sang.....not face forward and proud like most of his 4 year old classmates but I could tell he was loving it, faced slightly towards the backdrop ( hoping against hope this would mean no-one would notice he was singing) and twiddling with the zip on his sweatshirt he SANG..and my heart sang right along with him.
I thank the X factor, he loved this show and loved 2 of the singers Shayne and Chico, he wants a leather jacket and a microphone and says he is going to be Chico...and I think he was living his dream today. My Isaac is coming on just fine, he is my star.
