My "Tuesday Unwrapped" Post...

Ok, so my "Tuesday Unwrapped" moment is this:

My son has just started wanting to dress himself...sometimes. I'll admit, I'm not too keen on the idea. However, I try to be the good mommy and let him express himself at times, so when we're just going to be home (and not going anywhere), I'll let him go upstairs and pick out his own thing to wear, and dress himself. The last two times I have done this, he has put on swim trunks! I guess they are easy to put on, and he secretely thinks he'll get to go swimming if he puts them on! LOL

I think the lime green swim trunks, red Atlanta Braves shirt, socks, and blue sunglasses looked great together....don't you???? :-)

I love this! It is hard to let them dress themselves at first, that's for sure. One of mine always comes down with a striped shirt and striped pants...then proudly declares "Stripes and stripes...they match!"

They most certainly do not match. At least I didn't have to pick them out :)

We are there right now, too. Nothing he picks matches- of course. What I plan to do is make some stickers (from labels, maybe) that say "I dressed myself today!" That way he'll get to be all proud and I won't feel like everyone is thinking I'm a bad, lazy mom. :)

Absolutely--that's a totally classy look!
So does the swim trunks trick ever end in success? i.e. a trip to the pool? :-)

Of course they look great together! :P My son is 2, so I guess it will be my turn soon, huh? :)

I think he's been reading those mags with celebs. I notice they never match either!

O loves to walk around the house in her bathing suit. Just like Nathan, I believe it's because she thinks she'll go swimming. One day, last Winter, I was in a hurry to get out of the house & I forgot that she was wearing it, so I quickly pulled a pair of pants over top of it & threw a jacket on her. Oh well - she was happy!
