You Look Mahhhvelous!

I am big on outfits. Everyone at work makes fun of my myriad of outfits and that I seem to have one for every occasion. With that being said it should come as no surprise that I like the Mud Puddle to look nice. And by nice I don’t mean girly – I dress him like a boy but I prefer not to have him look like a rag-a-muffin.

Scott is a great dad (as was covered in an earlier post) and helps out with Joshua in a variety of ways. Yesterday I was sick and asked Scott to do drop off so I could just stay in bed and wallow in my bad belly. He took care of the whole morning ritual (he usually dresses the Mud Puddle and get him juiced/yogurt-ed up before he leaves) and they were gone before I knew it.

When I picked the Mud Puddle up from school yesterday I was shocked to find him wearing a t-shirt that was :
a. bought for summer because of its size and
b. not ever to be worn out of the house and ESPECIALLY not to daycare.
Why, you ask? Because it had the words “Chick Magnet” on the front. *SIGH*
I quickly scooped him up and beat feet out of there before anyone said anything about it.

Now I bought him the Chick Magnet shirt, (and one that says “I Do All My Own Stunts”) but I MEANT for it to be a weekend shirt for this summer.

Clearly we have a breakdown in communication when it comes to what is ok daycare attire.
But in the grand scheme of things how much does it matter? Scott is an awesome dad, Joshua is a happy little boy and the only people who could read it were the daycare employees and they pretty much acknowledge his Chick Magnet status (Two girlfriends and counting).
But clearly, I am going to have to hide the non-daycare clothes, or not buy anything that is funny but not daycare funny.
Or lighten up.
Yeah, that isn’t going to happen.
