Fashionista?

Asher is not unlike most two year old children in his desire to assert his independence. This independence is a battle ground on which many wars are waged every day. Some battles I choose not to fight - Asher's "style" is one of them. Asher loves to pick out his own clothing. Any day his basketball jersey is clean, he'll wear it - rain or shine, hot or cold - in Asher's mind, every day is the right day for his McQueen basketball shirt. He's quite certain that plaid and camouflage go smashingly together (which Vince would probably agree with). Crocs and socks are another favorite fashion statement of his. He loves his boxers, but he also loves his undies with baseballs on them. What's a boy to do when he loves two different pairs of undies? Well, it only makes sense to wear them both... at the same time.

This morning, Asher chose two shirts, two pairs of underwear, and one pair of sunglasses to wear for the day. We have since trimmed down the outfit to only one shirt and one pair of undies (still no shorts)... but for a few minutes, Asher was ready to face the world in his layers of clothing. I guess the good thing about his clothing choice is that should he have any accident or spill, he's already fit with his new clothing. All he needs to do is peal off the top layer and bam! - he's ready to go.

Henry and Asher must have been talking. Henry's been wearing two entire sets of clothes (although just one pair of unders) because he's a superhero of one variety or another. You know - they always have to be ready to rip off that outer layer and save the day.

Maybe, just maybe I should pack another basketball jersey for Asher in my suitcase when I come up to visit! I know how much you love those with the characters on them. I'm thinking Asher will be a trend setter on fashion. You make me happy when I find a new post on your blog!

I'm quite certain that if Isaiah had a Lightning McQueen piece of clothing, he would wear it everyday it was clean as well. He just got some hand-me-down (Lightning McQueen) pj's, and I told him he can wear them several nights in a row IF he can avoid spilling milk on them during breakfast time. So far, this has not happened, but I have reason to hope he will be more careful when he eats breakfast! :)
