E28: Sagging, and earrings, and belts, oh my!

Confession: It is sometimes hard for me to allow Lane to express himself through his appearance, whether it’s coloring his hair, wearing goofy earrings, or sagging his pants.  However, I realize if I stifle this important teen outlet of creativity, the risk of rebelling increases exponentially.  I have no research or data to back this up.  It’s just my opinion. Included in this episode:*summer activities for a 15 year old*executive functioning skills class for teens*his first day camp experience at 2 and 1/2 and what I realized*Lane's questionable attire on day one of this week's day camp*I love boobies! belt*his love for wearing fancy clothes when he was little*our car's google tells us a joke and sings to us every day*Tesla's on the road- blegh!SHOW NOTES:Keep A Breast FoundationExample of a rockabilly kids’ shirtExample of a guayaberaTalk to me!
