'Like the other 3 year olds'

Dylan broke my emotional, prego heart this morning while dropping him off at school. When putting on his backpack he said to me, "Mom, this backpack is small. I would really like a big backpack like the other 3 year olds."

I knew his cute little Pottery Barn Kids preK backpack was much tinier than the jumbo sized Spiderman backpacks that the other kids carry, but I honestly didn't think he noticed (or cared). Kinda sad when they start to be less innocent and want to be more like the 'pack'. This is just the beginning, I'm sure.

(Needless to say, I ran home, went online, and ordered him a larger version of the same personalized backpack from PBK...yes, I am a 'sucker'. But, I still want him to look cute. And, I'm not quite ready for superhero backpacks.)
