She has been seen mothering a blue power ranger…

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.
My boys dress up all the time, too. They love it. We have ObiWanKonobe, Darth Vader, Blue Ranger, Red Ranger, Shadow Ranger (SPD), pirate, Batman, Superman, and my oldest son (7) most often picks – a fuzzy caterpillar suit. Naturally.
KEEP BELIEVING
Oh my golly that last picture is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. So he’s a polka kind of dude, is he?
We went through the Captain Feathersword and Train Conductor stages ourselves… I think we are out of the woods for a while anyway…
If I weren’t certain that it would draw too much creepy traffic to my blog, I would share the picture of MiniMe dancing around in his underwear and cowboy boots. The boots that he wears EVERYWHERE, with everything, even though we live in Southern California and not near anything that would require actually owning cowboy boots.
That last picture is absolutely classic – save it for his wedding reception!
How totally adorable!
Ha ha ha ha ha…I LOVE the chicken costume!
SO funny!
SO adorable. Gotta love a little chicken!
My kids have a huge collection of “dress up” stuff. Thank the Lord they have never dressed Snorkie Boy as a ballerina! They are often all over the neighborhood on their scooters…in Costume.
My kids start planning Halloween costumes on Nov 1st….
Blessings, E
Oh that last pic is just adorable–I don’t want Rhett to ever grow up 🙂
What is that saying – Kids do the funniest things! Kudos to you for letting them express their “fashion sense” publicly!
Oh, so cute!!!! My kids go everywhere in their dress-up clothing… It was really funny two years ago when Katya was obsessed with “Little House on the Prairie” and would often wear the period costume I got her — to her Russian school — where she would proudly declare, “Ya pioneerka!” That means “I’m a pioneer”… but “pioneers” in Russia are kids who are members of the Communist Youth Organization. They must have thought that we were very strange Americans indeed…!!!!!
