Letting The Kiddos Dress Themselves

Lately, we’ve been letting the boys pick out their own clothes and they’ve been so into it, especially older brother. The sense of pride and independence they feel when choosing what to wear, and seeing the smiles on their faces when they pick something they love, far outweighs any kind of fashion faux pas they may be committing (like pairing the green dinosaur shirt and the teal flower shorts).

Older brother likes to switch out his clothes multiple times a day (we’re reminding him he can’t keep doing that!), and this was his black on black ensemble he picked out for our walk that evening. He kept telling us how handsome and cute he looked in it and our hearts melted a little every time he said it. We love how much he loves himself and hope he never loses that.

At an age when most decisions and choices are made for them, it feels right to let them have this one for themselves. Happy Monday, friends xx.
