Scotty, Squires and Jackson gave you this hunting gear for Christmas. It was their old gear. You thought it was pretty cool and put the waders and hat on. You did look so cute. You think guns are pretty cool, much to my dismay. I guess I couldn't stop it. You are a boy. You all find them somehow. You will use sticks if you don't have toy ones. I am getting better with the whole notion. Somehow, I thought I could keep them away - HAHA. Can I say, what silly thinking of me!
Personally, guns are not my favorite. You say you are going to hunt someday "like Jackson." You were at the farm and you saw him kill a bird and I think that was confusing for you. You kept asking me why he did that and that you wanted to do it because he did. I am not sure killing animals is in your nature. You seem somewhat sad and conflicted about it. I am not even sure it's in your Daddy's nature. He has been hunting, but not a lot. However, if it is something you are truly interested in someday, I won't keep you from it. Daddy can teach you the proper way and train you - that's the only way I will allow it. I probably won't be able to keep you away from hunting, especially with Daddy's side of the family being hunters. Look, some people do it as sport and to each their own, but personally, I don't see what a person gains by killing another animal, but that's me...
I love you, Mamma
