Sucker

I let my kids dress themselves, mostly. I'm usually so happy that my children will get dressed on their own that I don't care what they wear (and I hide the things I don't want them to pick out.)

But occasionally, they end up with some odd combinations. This week my oldest wore a clip on tie with his T-shirt three days in a row. His justification? "Can I wear this, Mom? I think it would look nice." Heck, that is my reasoning for half the stuff I wear.

And my three-year-old wore his pajama shirt all day long the other day. It is an "I heart New York" shirt his grandparents brought back from vacation for him. "But this has a heart on it and. . . (pause while he puts his hands over his heart) . . I love you."
