Acknowledging Him - I dressed myself today!

Acknowledging Him

I dressed myself today!

Here's why it's good to let your kids dress themselves:

1. when you've got a bunch, it's all about who can do what without Mama's help. Trust me on this.
2. it's an important life skill, of course! Teaches responsiblity, fine motor skills, etc.

Here's why it's not so good:

Somedays, your kids will go out looking like this:

Really, I'm not all that concerned about the mess on his shirt. What prompted me to take the picture was that his pants are on backwards AND his shoes are on the wrong feet! It got even better later, when I took him to the bathroom, and discovered that he wasn't wearing anything under those backward pants

Dh and I keep joking about having a button made that says "I dressed myself today" ...it may be time!

Really, he looks normal to me. Must be because even my 5 yr old still puts his pants on backward sometimes.

As far as the dress...how funny that you got two. :)
But, Autumn is much bigger than Emi now. She eats like a horse.

He's still just as handsome as ever, backward pants and shoes even!

I love that big smile! He's so proud of himself and so darn cute.
