Because we are working on potty training our little tyke, we have been working on allowing him to dress and undress himself. He gets really frustrated because his head is usually too big to allow his collar an easy-off. He also gets a real kick out of getting stuck in his shirt. Here he is trying to put it on, and giggle at all of his effort. He is a real crack up. He also likes to pick out his own clothes. Mom has learned to offer options that are appropriate. He has a pair of bright orange socks that he will pick if given the chance. He will find his orange shorts to match, and he has a bright green, brown and orange stripped shirt that really completes the mix. So, if we don't' want to take a pumpkin out to dinner, we just hide those options (most of you probably know how his Daddy feels about bright colors, especially orange). He is adorable though, and at least he matches. When I was a kid, that wasn't one of my priorities. My poor mother ended up taking a strangely dressed child with her a lot of places because I changed my clothes as we were walking out the door.

Oh, and potty training is progressing slowly but surely. He really likes to use "Daddy's potty" so that helps get him on it. It is so much fun to watch him grow. What a funny kid.
