No more sweaters with goofy images on them!

This picture taken at Holiday in the Park at Six Flags makes me laugh.
We (Mom or I) buy Christmas sweaters for the boys every year after Christmas for the next year. I guess last year was the last year to do that!

Matthew has put a ban on "sweaters with goofy snowmen on them"! Thomas looked adorable in his, Matthew refused to wear it with the snowman showing. He would much prefer to wear in inside out and backwards (notice the tag in front).

I forced him to wear a different one to church this morning. Jilinda asked Matthew what was on his sweater. He huffed and puffed and covered his sweater immediately.

"Plain sweaters from now on, Mom!"

I wasn't expecting the "I am too cool for you" business for a few more years!


You tell me which one looks goofy! ;)

Too funny! I remember when I was in Kindergarten I had these red overalls and it had a picture of "Annie" on the front. My mom thought they were so cute, and I remember being so embarrassed when I had to wear them!

I had a similar experience with Landry yesterday. We went to the bagel shop before we got ready for church. I thought it would be "fun" for her to wear her jammies (they were long sleeve/long pants and had penguins on them....so it wasn't like she was in a nightgown or anything!). She was SO embarrassed. She kept trying to hide, refused to take her jacket off, and told me "no one else here has their jammies on!" I had no idea that would embarrass her! It's so funny how early they develop a mind of their own!

That is a cute sweater!
Jonathan's pre-school had a pajama day every year. When he was 2, he refused to do it. I dressed him in his cute pj's, but he was not having it. He was crying and refusing to go in. I had to pull his not-so-cute "emergency" clothes out of his backpack and put them on over his clothes. I thought once he saw everyone else that he would be OK. Nope. He stayed that way all day.
