Life with Finn

I was getting out a bunch of spring/summer stuff from Finn’s closet the other day and came across these shorts. They are, as you can see, bright turquoise with sharks on them (keep in mind, neither of these attributes should endear them to young Finn).  They are actually boxer shorts, size 4/5 that I think we somehow picked up in a hand-me-down pile from Leo. Finn has fallen in love with an item of clothing for the first time. It all started when he wanted to put them on before bathtime. I suggested we put them on after bath, seeing as how he was suppose to be getting naked not dressed. After bath he ran into his room and put them on. However, he then saw that I had already got pjs out and asked if he could put the pj bottoms on first and then the shorts on over them. So that way “I can still see them.”  Seeing no harm, I said yes. He has worn them every night since, in that same fashionable way. Luckily, he is still accepting the “you can’t wear them over your pants during the day because they might get dirty” line. He was especially excited about the combo featured above because “it’s all animals.”  I wish I had a picture from tonight’s get up.  He has got on the same bear top but the pj bottoms are bright red covered in trucks, and then of course the sharks on top. Lovely.
