Hooray for Pink!

Ever since we started letting Ryan and Lucie pick out their own pajamas, we've seen a lot of pink at the breakfast table. Lucie will flip-flop, sometimes picking "girl" sleepers, other times picking the "boy" ones (like this photo). Ryan, on the other hand, will consistently pick pink, even if the only pink sleepers are hidden in the very back of the drawer. It's so funny - maybe he's making up for the last 18 months of being forced to wear blue?

I've always thought it was silly how most girl clothing is pink and flowery, while boys get to wear fun things like trucks, dinos, and dogs. Can't a girl have puppies on her clothes? Or, in Ryan's case, fuzzy pink lamb feet? I have to admit, he's definitely on to something here - pink does go quite well with his eyes.

I love it that Lucie is going for the blues and Ryan is exclusively a pink "man"! The NY Times just had a piece about men wearing pink shirts, so Ryan is right in style!

So Sweet!
Hoorah for letting the little dudes pick out their own duds, even if they're bucking the gender odds!

I know what you mean about all the cool animals and trucks and dinos and stuff on boys clothes. When I used to work at that used kids store (Trader Tots) I was always coveting the boys clothes and wishing they were in my size!
