Clothing Preference

For the last few weeks after his bath time, Ivan has been going into his drawer pulling his shirts out to drag them across the room, take them with him, sit on them, etc.... I realized he always pulls the same shirts out. THen two days ago, after I put a onesie on him (his pjs), he pulled the two shirts out -- the dark-blue long-sleeved one with white stripes, and a red short-sleeved polo shirt with also white stripes -- and tried to put the blue one on.

I asked, "do you want me to put the shirt on you." "Ah," he said. So I put the shirt on him. Then he handed me the red shirt. So I put that one on him as well on top of the blue shirt and the onesie. He was so happy.

It cracked me up that he obviously has a clothing preference and likes some shirts more than the others. It's just funny to think that an 17-month-old cares has such preferences.

Before putting him down to bed, I took off the polo shirt, because I thought he'd be too hot and uncomfortable sleeping. But I left on him the long-sleeved blue shirt. He slept all night long.

Then, first thing in the morning, he found the red shirt and brought it over to me to put it on him.

Andy and I cracked up.
