A true story from my life with a three year old:
Here I am sitting at the table looking up recipes so I can go grocery shopping. J and M want to ride their bikes. "Sure, I say. J, please put some clothes on first." (That child strips to his undies the SECOND he walks in the door from being outside-so he gets dressed multiple times a day.) Humming, J brings me a swim shirt and swim shorts so I can help him.
"J, why do you always want to wear swim clothes?" I ask. J continues humming, but takes his underwear off.
"No, leave your underwear on, we have to go to the store."
As he begins putting his swim shorts on, "No, I'm gonna cover my booty and my penis and my bum up so nobody can't see my naked." J continues humming, and runs to find his flip flops. Thank you J, for always putting a smile on my face!
The other day I told my little guy who was in only underwear, "why are you naked again? Go put some clothes on." He replies, "I'm not naked! Underwear is clothes!" Its only so long you can get away being in your undies in the front yard, so I conceded. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, my little man is constantly in just his underwear. I let him hang out on the front porch like that all the time. It takes way too much effort and energy for me to keep clothes on that child!
