Gender bender


A key to keeping toddler tantrums at bay is to provide for safe opportunities for your child to choose rather than be told.  A great example of this is when Ashton doesn't want to get dressed, which is an every day occurance, I ask him if he wants to wear the blue shirt or the green shirt.  Simple choices make him feel like he's getting away with murder.  

Well this has snowballed into him choosing Reagan's clothes too.  Which is fine... until he decided one day that he wanted to wear a dress like her...

To be honest with you, it didn't bother me at all (he has too much testosterone pumping through his little veins anyway), but Jimmy was absolutely repulsed by his little outfit.  Ashton was spinning around and having a ball, so who cares, right? 


Thanks to Barb Strottman he was able to squeeze into this 2T number! 


Two peas in a pod!
