And Karter?? Well, Karter is a diferent story. He isn’t even 2 1/2 and he cares about what he wears, or more importantly what he doesn’t want to wear. He still has a hard time changing clothes 50% of the time. He does well wearing clothes that have trains or cars on them, he doesn’t do as well with clothes that don’t. He also has a pair of shoes that he loves!! He wants to wear them all the time. They just happen to be the ones I bought at Goodwill, the ones I set aside for getting dirty. He has three pairs of nice shoes in his closet and he wants to wear the old, used, stained ones everyday. He does wear them, each and every day, and even goes down for his nap with his shoes on. And occasionally, he has even worn them to bed. Now, it is tricky to put him to bed with his shoes over his feet pajamas, but you have to choose your battles. Sometimes you have to balance discipline. Of course I’m still figuring it out, but this is working for us right now.
