Dressing himself

Much of the time Mikey is quite cooperative when it comes to getting dressed. Now and then he fights a little, but not usually too much. Well on this particular day he was VERY adamant about what he wanted to wear. You pick your battles and we weren't going anywhere right away so I let him decide....
He first chose sweat pants. At that point I tired to offer him a shirt. He wanted none of that! He then picked up his overalls. After getting them half way on I tried again with the shirt...and, well, the results of our exchange are clear.
He did venture out onto the back porch for awhile with this stylish outfit on so our neighbors got a free lesson on fashion, but luckily we were able to convince him to change before really leaving the house.



Aunt Kick-en

Aunt Kick-en (Kristen) came to visit for a day while she was in town with family and Mikey LOVED it! (Probably almost as much as mama :) Of course she did offer him candy in the first few minutes together--always a sure way to win his heart. But he never stopped showing off for her and asked for her when he woke up from his nap. Thanks for visiting Aunt Kick'en! We love you!


When Mikey wants attention and is trying to be silly he starts to eat his feet. He laughs uncontrollably at himself. He used this tactic throughout most of Kristen's stay.
