well, almost no one. one handsome little fellow has what is hip, awesome, wicked and totally sick (not to be confused with gross) this season all figured out.
here is a little sneak peak:
sick pick #1:
only one shirt will be necessary...as long as it is the right shirt.
soccer jersey- of course. five stars- a must for any kid with any sense of competitiveness. brazil flag logo- a good reminder of the hope of one day being a brazilian soccer player. good color, yellow- recently bumped up to a top 5 favorite color. nike symbol- conveniently located in front so when you look in the mirror trying to make your tongue into the shape of a nike, it's easily seen for a reference. this shirt works for every occasion...everyday. it can be worn over things, under church clothes, dirty, clean, in the tub, and to sleep.
*no coat needed. heaven forbid you cover up this seasons #1 pick.
sick pick #2:black adidas socks.
these are a must have for everyday of the week! preferably a big brother's- makes them extra cool and big. can be worn with any shoe- preferably white or our favorite (shown below) green so-called converse. make sure to NEVER cover the adidas symbol. this is easily accomplished with shorts or by tucking. the elasticity in these socks is very good and most pants will stay when tucked. if for some odd reason the pants will not stay tucked in the sock, folding is acceptable. consider yourself lucky if you have a mother who will teach the fine art of pant peg-ing. these socks are church-able.
*fyi: for church there is a no-tucking policy, which means you can get away with leaving your shirt un-tucked as well.
ok..i really do love kai's little fashion sense. sense being the key word because he thinks about it. i love his little passions, even if they are stained. i just have to take a deep breath. i remember sadie and abe going through the same sort of phases. sadie HAD to wear her teletubbies slippers and then it was dresses everyday. abe went through a phase of shorts and moon boots, together. even though sometimes it looks like they have a mother who doesn't care, i do care and i love their little individuality, that what they pick doesn't have to be what i would pick. i love that they dress themselves and most of all that they have an opinion -- even if it means that i have to explain to his preschool teacher that kai is setting a shirt record....he is seeing how many days he can wear the same shirt... and we were late because spot washing just wouldn't cut it.
