We sing it together. Never in front of his friends who will tattle on us to their parents. I Hate tattle tales. But I'm in no mood to see Child Protective Services at my door either.

Simon went years without wearing ANYTHING except "soft pants" (i.e. track pants from Target, which we had in EVERY color of the rainbow!)
And let's not forget Grahm…(I thought his clothes neurosis would be a walk in the park compared to Si, but not so much!)…for years he wore pajamas everywhere, then when he had to start school & I (most days) put the kibosh on pj's, he began wearing superhero costumes! And let's not forget the entire summer that he DEMANDED to dress like Danny Zucko – leather jacket, greased hair & a comb in his pocket, E V E R Y D A Y!! 🙂 – but you know what, I felt the same way as you – who cares?!? They're cute!! 🙂

That little kid of mine is now a 20 yr old, third year pre-med at Cal and sh#@ never gets in his way. And he's actually a really kind person which is more important. Great blog here…just awesome.

We didn't have video cams then so I just doubled over and peed my pants.

Re: items 2,4 & 5
it's the same with my boys…we went out to the beach to take family photos, we were all dressed casual, barefoot, Jesse wore a tie.
Meyer will only wear a bathing suit and flip flops every where any weather, good thing we don't live in Michigan

I packed nutella sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.

Meyer said fuck it in front of his speech therapist last week. She said what??? I said I think he's saying truckin.

You are a killer mom!!!!!

I'm raising my 3 1/2 year old nephew and he swears. I wasn't sure if my ignoring it was ok or not, but since it doesn't worry you, I won't let it worry me too much!

The clothes thing for him is about the same. He HAS to pick out his shirt. If he doesn't he won't wear what I pick out and will be content to stay in his pajamas all day. (I will have none of that.)
