Have you ever met these families where the mom looks perfect at all times and her children look perfect as well? Cameron has this Aunt that I have never seen look less than perfect. She had her last baby right after Max and when we went into the hospital to see her her hair was done, makeup on and she had the cutest sweats on. Even her brand new little baby had been changed from hospital attire to a cute new outfit and her hair was done with a bow in place. Her three little boys are the same way, always in the cutest clothes with their hair gelled perfectly. Why am I not this Woman? I have good days where I take the time and get my little family ready but most days I have my hair in a ponytail and sweats on (not cute sweats just a big baggy t-shirt and big baggy pants). My boys, well I really tried with them. I tried to do Brigham's hair so cute every day, but after having to do it ten time before you get in the car and then by the time you get him out it is already a mess, I just gave up. Thanks to my mother-in-law I have been able to dress them cute on most days, until now.
Brigham has now decided that he will be choosing what he wears. I tried to fight it by giving him choices of some cute things but no he will not have it. If I even suggest something it is automatically marked in his little brain as a definite NO. He especially hates long sleeves and long pants. I don't know what I am going to do when it is winter. So if you by chance run into me somewhere and you think my son looks like a little orphan boy, please don't think that we abuse him or don't take care of him. This is my disclaimer that now I am no longer willing to fight the battle with Brigham so what he is wearing is his choice. (Unless someone will tell me the secret of always being able to look perfect while at the same time keeping your boys looking perfect) Turn away or close your eyes if it is too ugly or better yet just do what I do and laugh.

My mom always says you have to pick and choose your battles with your kids. I agree with you..what else can you do but laugh about it? :)
oh my goodness, this is so hilarious. I was ready to snap a photo of my Cade on the same topic. He too, is now deciding he wants to pick out what he wears. It's a struggle. He has these two pairs of shorts he alternates throughout the day (yes day, not week. he changes his outfits about 4 to 6 times). Well, we can both have two orphan-looking boys. At least Savannah is still at my mercy. :-)
Even with Brighams "interesting" outfits I think he is one of the cutest boys I know. And when you find out the secret to looking good all the time let me know. We are in the same boat as you. If we get showers for the day I feel like it's a accomplishment.
