When will our kids start caring about what they wear? Or is that already happening? Henry only cares about his hat right now- not any specific hat, only that he has something on his head so he can "go 'side."

Well this is what i know, if I put Vivian in a short sleeved short she starts screaming and rubbing her arms. Summer may be miserable for her if she does not start wearing more short sleeves.

OMG, this was DS. Age 2-3 he refused all short sleeves. Sensory kids are so hard to dress.
Now he will only wear short sleeves but no pants. Just shorts unless pants are a must or the only option.
I think we've talked about this before, right?
I think we have briefly, but I have a bad memory so I could be wrong. I have wondered if Vivian has some sensory issues. I am documenting to talk to her pediatrician at her 2 year well check.

DS started caring between like 2.5 and 3. He wanted to dress himself and was in love with character stuff.
I dunno how you can control/explain this stuff to your kid as they get older. "I'm so sorry, I know you like Batman, but mommy doesn't like logo and/or character tees?"
Right?!? My mom let me wear a black oversized NKOTB tee shirt for all of first grade and I have great respect for her flexibility. I know it wasn't part of her Laura Ashley vision, LOL.

This started for us a few weeks ago. Every pair of pants I pulled out L would smirk, say "noooo" and put back in. I forget which she finally approved but it was not one of the first six selected by me.
This morning she was not happy with either of my two shirt selections and had a meltdown, so I pulled her in my lap and had her take five deep breaths with me fluttering my hands over her chest up and down, which she thought was hilarious and perked her up. After I explained the shirt was going UNDER the birdie sweatshirt she selected, we were finally able to get sign off on one of them.

J has two "Digger!!!!" shirts (shirts with construction vehicles on them) that if he sees he will flip the eff out and throw a tantrum if he can't wear. He also loses his crap when I try to take said shirts off at the end of the day. The other night MH let him wear one to bed rather than fight the fight so I got to deal with it come morning. He ends up wearing them multiple times a week and I've looked all over for more of the same or similar to round out a week's worth of shirts so he'll look like he has more than two shirts. (He obviously does)
This but with Firetruck shirts. I'm assuming it will change to a character shirt when he sees one he recognizes.

It's better that we live in Columbus and ds2 has no idea what a taboo is Michigan outfits are! Ds1 sports OSU so it gets even better!
Ds2 only wore fleece pants and long sleeves all summer last year. I think I posted that a vbs asked me if we needed help affording summer clothes for him. Nope- just my kid doing his thing and sweating profusely all summer.
Also my kids both call shorts "short pants" it's so funny!!!

I'm sure this will change, but my kid doesn't seem to ever care what he's wearing. I don't usually give him a choice though. Is that wrong?
FTR I don't buy character clothing. I'm sure as he gets older and more interested in tv that will change. He does have sports themed clothing though (surprise, surprise). But he doesn't seem to notice/care if he's wearing a shirt with a football on it or a plain (solid) shirt or a striped shirt, etc.
W doesn't really care what he's wearing either. He would prefer naked. Diaper if he has to. Everything else is just annoying. He did freak out about me putting jeans on him the other day.
Oh, and he saw Paw Patrol pj's at the store the other day and wanted them. Since we needed more in the next size, I bought them. I don't think he really realized it was clothes though.

I have a friend whose daughter would only wear fancy dresses- daily for 18 mo. So she was tearing through daycare and the playground in fancy Xmas eve dresses and Easter wear. It was awesome.

lonegalathome my older two call them short pants as well! Ds refers to khakis and jeans as tight pants. He said they are all tight in his crotch and gets upset when I make him wear them.

I'm trying to embrace the fashionista in Juliette, while also practicing giving her options. So I like to offer her two outfits and let her choose. Same thing for accessories and shoes.

I don't have time to let Molly pick her clothes and she doesn't seem to care. I pick the outfit and let her decide between sneakers and boots. I guess now it will be either sneakers or sandals.

Hailey needs to put her own socks on. They rarely match. I've begun to embrace it. She also will be very vocal about not wanting to zip things. My oldest would wear a dress every day.

DS will dig favorites out of the laundry and insist on wearing it. When I explain it's dirty, he says, "wash it mama".
I can't wait until next week! I HATE these tops with the shoulder holes. Either make it sleeveless, a cap sleeve, a long sleeve or a 3/4 length sleeve. Choose dammit! The shoulders out but arms covered looks stupid!

I cursed myself by posting that E didnt care what she wore. I bought her a shirt with a monkey on it and now that's the only shirt she wants to wear. Please send a monkey themed wardrobe.

They're everywhere! They came out of nowhere to take over all other dresses and tops.
