big bad monster outfit

Look, my son picked out a new outfit from Target. With four kids (two boys and two girls), I didn’t think we would need to buy any more clothes for our youngest son. In theory, he should be able to wear hand-me-down items from his older brother. Wrong! This isn’t working out like I thought it would. For one thing, my eight-year old son has big holes in his pants. In every pair of pants. How does he do that? Then there’s our toddler’s bad eczema problem. His brother’s polyester clothes make him itch and scratch like crazy. In my toddler’s case, cotton is the fabric of his life.

    He’s getting so big! Last night’s shopping venture with my 9 year old son wasn’t as successful so congrats on yours! Oh and you’re son isn’t the only one that puts holes in all his pants – my son’s are in process of being cut off into summer shorts….every one. ;)

    Hugs,
    Holly

    Aw, such a cutie! Only one of my three boys managed to always put holes in the knees of his pants. Fortunately, he is the youngest one!

    Happy WW! :)

    Cottons are the best, unfortunately they don’t last that long. He is cute.

    He’s a cutie and looks very happy to have some new cotton clothes all his own. Guess if you want to hand the older one’s down you’ll have to start him out in cotton too :)

    No boy’s clothes can be handed down usually cos they ruin them all!
    Well…that’s what I’ve found.
    Cotton is good though… and even better that he can wear it without getting a flare up.

    Your boys are good-looking. I am the eldest in the family and is the only girl, so I never had hand-me-downs, unlike my brothers. :)

    He is a cutie. I understand the boy thing completely! I am mom to eight sons. My boys wear out everything! I am surprised none have worn out their knees by the looks of their jeans.
