Fancy pants

Oh, November. I am so sleepy tonight. I don't think I can possibly come up with a post.

I've been sewing all day in my "ree time." Free time = the time that the boys were either napping or agreed to be occupied for 20 minutes with the Nintendo DS.

Colin demands to choose his own clothes. It's fine with me - I'm just not used to it. Christopher has always been my little fashion model, letting me dress him in whatever I wanted to. But not Colin. He has his own ideas about what to wear.

He's not terribly picky. As long as it's not a smocked jon jon (there goes his entire church wardrobe) or a pair of plain pants, he's happy. Yes. I said plain pants.

Colin likes for his pants to be flamboyant. He likes patterns and prints. All the time. So, I obliged today. I made him a pair of British flag pants, some pants with London double decker buses, and some pants with bicycles all over them.

He's a weird little dude.

And this post should have pictures. But I'm so tired.

  1. Tomorrow you'll post a picture!.

    Or maybe you should make a smocked jon jon out of that Brit flag fabric?

  2. I confess I know not what a smocked jon jon is...

    But I am impressed that you were able to whip out all those fancy pants! I also hope you'll post a photo or two tomorrow. (Or the next day.)

  3. Yeah, I completely phoned in yesterday's post myself. Daniel is starting to have opinions about what he wants to wear, and I'm not thrilled because that means it takes more time to get him ready in the morning since he rejects what I picked out. I like the growing independence but I miss my ability to dictate wardrobe, food, activities, etc. Oh well.

    Yes, what is a jon jon??

    Okay, so you know those pants at JCrew, for men, with, like, embroidered lobsters or laboradors on them? I've never understood how they sell those things, because I've always thought men like their clothes plain. Master Colin has proved me wrong. Pictures of the pants, especially the flag ones, please?
