Good find

This is the best consignment find EVER!

I paid $5 for this jacket at a local church consignment sale last fall, and it still fits Biscuit.

If there's anything good about Biscuit growing at such a slower rate, it's that he gets to wear cool things like this jacket for a long time.

The body of the jacket is wool, and it has leather sleeves. The words on the front and the picture on the back are embroidered. It's quite impressive. 

We don't usually let Biscuit wear this jacket to day care, but I drove off to work with his coat in the back seat of my car. So Jeff pulled out this jacket, and poor Biscuit was terribly upset because it doesn't have zipper. He's finally mastered the art of the zipper, and this dumb ol' jacket doesn't have one!

Once he saw the picture on the back, he changed his mind.

Jeff took Biscuit to day care this morning, and he said once they got to Biscuit's class, this little boy came running over to Biscuit. There was a slight misunderstanding because Biscuit thought the little boy was excited to see him. When actually, the little boy was excited to see that jacket.

So Biscuit turned around to face the boy, and the boy ran around behind Biscuit's back. And Biscuit turned around to face the boy, and the boy ran around behind Biscuit's back. You can see where this is going! 

Biscuit finally took off the jacket and shoved it into his cubby. The little boy looked at Jeff and said, "I was trying to see that duck." 

I'm not sure if he got to see the duck or not, but with the jacket featuring these characters that have been familiar for generations, Biscuit gets a lot of looks.
