Today should be a day to wear green. It is after all St. Paddy's Day and we certainly don't want any of the kids at the sitter getting a wild idea to pinch. P decided to dress himself today so we let him. His choices: a red and black t-shirt with a race car on it (no green) and camo shorts (with green, but also brown). I drew the line at his shoe choice: lace up snow boots. He doesn't even want to wear those shoes with jeans on any given day, but all of a sudden that's the shoes he wants. He brought them to me and sat on the floor and that's when I had to break it to my bubbly little man that this just wasn't going to work. I told him that his shoes didn't match (forget the fact that nothing he has on actually matched). Oh I had every intention of putting them on just for the amusement factor and sending him with tennis shoes to the sitter. As I unzipped the first boot he took it from me, "No match, mama, no match." He took his boots and put them back in the closet, dug around for a minute, and picked out.........tennis shoes. Yay! They are black, grey, and orange. Since it was cooler this morning we had to convince him to put on some sweats over his shorts. He left the house wearing: black/red t-shirt, brown/green shorts, navy blue sweats, and black/grey/orange shoes. Ahhh...if this is the start of what's to come I'm going to have to start buying neutral clothes to keep my fashionable mind sane.
I know this post is no good without pictures. If he still has on the same clothes when I pick him up this afternoon I will share his amazing fashion sense.
Some simple, some silly, some profound; it's amazing what we can learn from the eyes of a toddler.
