I don't know how to feel about that...

John and Martha taking young Kal-El on his first walk around the farm.

I suppose babies in nappies and cowboy boots might have a niche.
But to me it looks too much like toddlers in t-shirts and wellington boots (and nothing else - tuppences and winkies out for the world to see)

Nasty, nasty.
They usually come along with dogs on ropes and rusting kitchen appliances as garden furniture.

It looks like a forced march.

It looks like parents doing what parents do. Sticking something on the baby's feet - and in this case, it seems the natural order is for cowboy boots - and taking it for a waddle down the path.

Seriously, they would have had to put something on his feet. What's the issue with the boots? Someone probably gave him the boots as a present or something anyway.

You kids are such haters. lol

It says a lot towards the argument for nurture though. I guess this kids growing up to be a cowboy whether his Mama likes it or not.

Or a member of the Village People

I think I see pink socks.

Lass is going to be a dominatrix.

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make em be doctors and lawyers and such

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Lass?

I think the kid looks cute.

Look at the way they're holding his/her hands. Them's good instincts.

The kid is obviously a prisoner of Texas' Death Row!!!
He's walkin the Green Mile in red boots!

Those aren't socks, those are rolls of leg fat. Lass is going to be an American. :)

As a fat proud American, I can safely say that babies don't need to be American to be fat, but it helps.

Those are beginner Jack Boots!!

I don't know why parents insist on putting shoes/boots on kids who are learning to walk: shoes/boots hinder the normal developent of ankle strength and balance. Socks are fine if the weather is cold, shoes/boots are fine for sitting in a stroller, but please keep the shoes/boots off while learning to walk.

Not on THAT path.

My guess is the boots were on to look cute for a photograph.

Yeah I'm with Spuck. I'd be putting something on the feet of my child for a walk on an outdoor path like the one above. The last thing you want is for the child to be bitten by an insect or getting a bur in his foot.
