Without reading anyone else's post, I have to say--as an almost grandfather--that it is my duty to dress my own grandchild appropriately. I have already made plans for the first kilted outing in the fall at Stone Mountain. I have also purchased several items of clothing for both a boy and a girl, since we don't know the sex.
I would suggest that you consider a great kilt since you can purchase a length of cloth at a minimum cost and it will grow with the boys. I plan to buy a tartan sash for the first baby kilt and sew in some pleats and a little velcro to start things off! Add some knee sox and a little sporran and we're in business.
I would never want to start trouble either, but there are some things that boys and girls need from their grandfathers, and this is one. Heritage, stepping out, cameraderie, pride, and the willingness to be who we are.
Good luck!
