I have too much time on my hands:

nice outfit

I can't handle Mason's fashion choices these days. I can't help it - I care how my boys look. They don't have to be super stylish, just nicely put together in clothes that fit. Andrew has never cared what he wears. He was 3 or 4 before he ever had his first clothes-related request, and it was to wear shorts. He didn't care which pair, just shorts. Mason on the other has been picking out his own clothes for a long time. He used to be okay with just picking out his socks. But now, most days he likes to at least be involved in his whole outfit. I am trying to give him that freedom because I realize it technically doesn't matter, but seriously?! Now I think he's doing it on purpose.

On Sunday he grabbed a pair of warm up pants and a tuxedo shirt (luckily the shirt was too small so that was an easy fix). Today he chose suit pants and the ugliest t-shirt he owns. Then to top it off, he wanted to wear socks and sandals. He's killin' me! : )

Here's Mason, rocking his rad outfit, at story time at the library today. Even when he's ridiculous, he's cute!

The vest is my favorite part :)

This makes me laugh because my mom let us pick out our clothes too when we were little. I always had stripes, polka dots, lots of colors and layers going on. She told me she thought it was an important part of our little personalities developing and getting to make a choice. I'm sure she was dying with the stuff I picked out too just like you are with Mason. What I can say is, I do have a strong sense of my own style and I was always reall confident about that. I think my mom allowing me to make my choices and supporting me in, definitely has something to do with it:)
