3/11/08 Marked a brief departure from regular attire for this post entitled, “because the chicken suit was at the cleaners”:

In “my list of things that might be OK at 2-4 years old, but definitely NOT even remotely OK at 24 years old:
#14. Wearing a blue power ranger suit 24/7.”
6/11/08 Reid’s birthday post:
“Your head is often in another world. A world where blue power rangers shop at Target and transformers pause to laugh at Gilligan’s Island DVDs.”
Reid has always had a dramatic flair in clothing choices. I didn’t squash the public appearance of the blue power ranger. I figured it was cute, a phase and people would embrace a little boy in blue.
Reid’s blue period lasted about 6 months. He still dresses up occasionally at home. His wardrobe has expanded. He is even mixing and matching outfits.
He is really excited about his next Halloween costume which we recently ordered and should arrive any day.
I have come to expect the unexpected.
So when Rhett(2) begs to dress up I am not surprised.
He didn’t choose to be a power ranger.
A transformer.
A space man.
As usual he dances to a different tune…
The chicken dance.
thats adorable!
I can’t believe we are already thinking about Halloween…
What are the odds that Holly’s child might be seriously contemplating a career like the San Diego Chicken’s?
Or, it it could be that in the future we’ll have corporate workshops advocating acceptance of trans-costumed co-workers. “It is best not to think of your costumed co-workers as mocking your standard suits or golf shirt and khaki pants. Instead, you should think of theirs as an alternative lifestyle and your acceptance of their capes, beaks, and helmets as akin to the acceptance of people from other cultures and countries.” I can see it now – cubicle farms with obese men in Lycra and capes, their underwear outside their pants and held in place by large belts, all because a generation of mothers failed to ever create a sense of shame about boyhood obsessions. The power suit re-defined.
What an adorable little chicken!!!
Choking from laughing. This will be even better in public!
My 4-year-old daughter is a fashionista, and there’s no telling what gets on her body before we are rushing out of the house. She does it so I don’t have time to change her. Imagine swimsuit over shorts (yes, they stick out under the legs), Japanese kimono, and go go boots. That’s my favroite. And I can’t leave her in the car…
So adorable! I love that you let them be themselves! : )
BTW, I wrote about fashion today also, but your boys have got me beat by a mile! : )
I always getting a kick out of seeing little boys out and about in costume, having raised 3 boys myself. What a great way to get full value from the Halloween investment. What a great way to fuel imagination. Cute, cute, cute! Props to the moms who encourage (public humiliation)individuality!
And can you tell me how to do a strike through when I post?
What a face! We’re you frying up his siblings or something?
Oh my gosh. LOVE me some Rhett. He never fails to elicit giggles 🙂
That is the cutest chicken ever!!
Lil Logan will randomly start wearing his fake muscles that he got to go with his wrestling outfit. Thank goodness we did not wear them to Target though. 🙂
That is just the absolutley cutest thing I have ever seen..
