We love to match

Brody loves to get ready by himself and has been doing this for awhile. We usually see who can get ready the fastest. This involves:

• brushing his teeth (we still help him with this just to make sure he does a good job
• putting his clothes on
• picking out his own clothes for a fun day at the house
• picking out his own pj's and big boys
  

We have been talking to Brody about matching clothes and he first thought matching meant a red shirt with red shorts - he would say "they match mama". We had to explain that yes they are the same color but we don't wear all the same color. If he wants to wear a pair of shoes - like Buzz Lightyear crocs - I can usually tell him that they don't match and we'll find the pair of shoes that do match and mama wants him to wear. So the other morning he picked out his own clothes to play in for the day and this is what he came out with

He was so proud. He said "Look mama, orange shorts with a little orange in the shirt - they match". I was a proud mom. This sure makes getting ready and out the door a lot easier.
