Modesty

[jethrien]

After a good hard play in multiple parks, ARR's pants were covered in dirt and leaves and such. We weren't going out again and the apartment was a comfortable temperature, so when I changed his diaper, I just left him in his onesie and socks. Aside from the fact that no one was going to see him, he's a baby. Onesies are completely acceptable attire for the under-two set. He didn't need pants that he was just going to get dirty.

After a winter of wearing pants constantly, however, ARR apparently begs to differ on this matter.

I set him down on the floor. He promptly marched off and made a beeline for the only pair of pants he has easy access to: his snowpants. He retrieved them and brought them straight back to me, holding them up demandingly.

OK, child, you win. I apologize for offending your sartorial sense. Kid got new pants.

(Apparently we'll be needing to regularly put him in shorts after all. I'd been debating on whether I thought he was too old to run around outside in a onesie. He thinks so.)

Babies are so silly. My kid is thrilled to bits when I let him crawl around the apartment in just his diaper, and I think he would be even happier if I let him do it in the nude (alas, wall-to-wall carpeting makes that unacceptable). He doesn't seem to dislike his clothes, but he's such a busy little bee that he doesn't have time for trivial things like getting dressed. I have to chase him down and wrestle him every time I want to get an article of clothing on him.

You could get ARR some of those romper suits with the shorts attached.

I'm not sure he thinks they count.
