Maybe I’m a bit of a minority, but I love dressing a boy. I love “boy” colors, greys and blues and browns. I love dress shirts and sweater vests and polos. Before having Ben, I preferred shopping for Boris’ clothes over my own. So, it was no surprise to me that when Ben came along I enjoyed filling his closet with all the beautiful clothing they make for little boys now days. I buy almost everything for Ben on sale, a season in advance. A shirt here, a pair of pants there, and then I pull it all together in the end.
This past weekend I turned over Ben’s wardrobe, swapping winter sweaters and jackets for summer shorts and t-shirts. He’s outgrown most of his 12 – 18 month clothes, and since he’s been wearing most of it since September, I was excited to hang all of my new treasures. Before packing everything away, I took Ben to the museum/government house (I know, a little clichéd) to photograph my favorites.
