Our Clotheshorse

My soon-to-be three-year-old grandson, Jonah, has been giving his parents fits about his wardrobe for some time now.  He basically wants to wear the same short-sleeved t-shirt everyday no matter the outdoor temperature.  He absolutely hates "up and down shirts," better known as button-down shirts, and only wants to wear pull-on pants.

One morning last week, Jonah was so stubborn about a particular shirt he was ready to leave the house shirtless. Finally, his older brother just opened the door and the blast of freezing weather made Jonah concede defeat.

Then last weekend there was the battle of the sweatshirt.  On Saturday, my daughter wanted Jonah to wear a Toy Story sweatshirt, but he flat out refused saying, "I hate that shirt!" On Sunday, she tried again. Jonah's response, "I hated that shirt yesterday and I still hate it today!" Nevertheless, Jonah lost the sweatshirt battle on Sunday as you can see in this photo.

There's no doubt Jonah's a clotheshorse.  I'm just hoping he eventually develops better taste than wearing the same red t-shirt and elastic-waist pants everyday!
