Another fashion post

Just to be clear, this was not the type of parent I ever intended to be.  My children were always going to be well-dressed, bathed, and in general beautiful.  And for a while, I succeeded.   And then Alice was born and dressing two children got annoying.  And more annoying, and more annoying.  And finally I convinced Rex to dress himself.  For a while I continued to pick out his clothes.  But then he decided to pick out his own clothes.  He is ridiculously picky.  He will only wear athletic shorts and a select number of shirts that are not too long.  Wednesday, after literally showing Rex every single one of his shirts and him rejecting each, I got frustrated and left.  About fifteen minutes later (seriously, he can take up to an hour to get dressed), he came out in this: athletic shorts, a mismatched, worn-out hand-me down shirt on backwards and the cheap flip-flops I had to buy to use the last $3 on a coupon.  At least he lets me brush his hair.  At least, I tricked Alice into wearing her own matching clothes.

  2. I wore my formal black pj's today in honor of your pj Monday. If I wear them again tomorrow, just pretend I didn't tell you I wore them already.
    ps- your kids are super cute. I'm hoping Alice will be wearing one of Rex's shirts as a skirt tomorrow.
