He picked out his own outfit yesterday, from the red-and-gray striped sweater, to the camo-inspired pants, all the way to the mismatched one-brown-and-one-black crocs. Fashion was not his top concern. His primary reason for getting dressed was so that he could perform many acrobatic stunts as part of a “movie” he put on for me in the basement. (Actually, we only got through part of the “movie” — he assured me that there are many more chapters left to watch.)
And don’t ask me about the look he’s giving me in this picture. It’s the look both of my kids give me when I get out the camera. A kind of exasperated, “Do you really need to be taking my picture again?”
But yes, I do. And these expressions only make me want to push the shutter button even more.
That is just to precious. Memories are made of this. Enjoy him while he is young.
Love the look on his face. What a fashion statement! Is the shirt on backwards, too?
Not pickin’, just sayin’.
Adorable! Wise is the Mommy who lets her kids dress themselves. Forget all the expressing-their-individuality stuff, it gives Mommy an extra few minutes to drink her coffee!
My 4yo got rubber fireman boots for Christmas and has not taken them off yet. He wears them to church, to bed (if I’m not watching), and once, very proudly, to the local fire department meeting. (He wouldn’t talk to anyone, but would very seriously hold up his foot for each person to admire.)
the look says it all.
wish i could still get away with giving looks like that!
Kyle has been doing puppet shows for us, with these finger puppets he made from a kit. He keeps assuring us that they are part of a series, and there is more to come.

I think that Kaleb has the matched pair to those crocs.
And I get that same look ALL the time.
