Emery is not a fan of wearing clothes. I can’t tell you how many times I have to tell him to “put your clothes back on, Son.” Somehow, someway, he looses misc articles all throughout the day. A shirt here, underpants there, etc.
I explain things to him like being modest in a house with a sister and how it isn’t appropriate to go around naked! He pouts and fusses and insists that clothes are not comfortable.
Then, last night, he fell asleep on the way home from my parents house. He had been swimming and playing hard all afternoon and the boy was slap, worn out. So I carried him up to bed.
Given the circumstances, I figured I could put his jammies on without any trouble. I quickly and ever so gently got his shorts off and pajama bottoms on. I thought about leaving his tank top on, but decided to slip it over his head at the last minute.
He was still sleeping until I moved him over to the pilow. Then he opened his eyes and said, “what about my shirt?”
“You don’t have to wear one,” I said. “Besides, it’s kinda hot in your room. Just wear your bottoms.”
“Nooooo. I haaaaaave to wear a shirt!”
“Why? You don’t ever want to wear a shirt.”
“Because. Someone might see my boobies.”

Now, a scene from breakfast one morning:
Savannah: “Mooooooom, Emery just hit me for NO reason!!!!!!!!”
Emery: “No. I didn’t hit her for no reason. I hit her because I wanted to.”

And a scene from dinner tonight:
Me: “Hey Emery, are you done eating?”
Emery: “Yeah. But not yet.”

Too funny! My nephew was one of those naked kids and my son was uber modest. He used to tell his cousin to go put his clothes on all the time. They are 19 and 17 now and laugh about it all the time.
Ava is the same way about clothes as Emery, unless there are princess dress up clothes involved! I love reading your blog and have
been religiously keeping up with it even though I haven’t posted in awhile. I haven’t been keeping up with mine for various reasons…the
main one being that we have been in “crisis” mode with Maya again, especially over the past month, and I don’t have the energy for it…and
I feel badly that the only joy I have is from Ava and I don’t always want it to be about her…and I don’t want to rehash the negative stuff
about Maya for all to see….hate being a downer! Anyway, say some prayers for us, okay? We could use all the help we can get! Have a
good weekend!
Jodi,
Your adorable son cracks me up!!! Ty is a naked child, too, and since it helps with the potty-training, I don’t fight it. I figure I’ll have my hands full soon. The last time we were at the restaurant, he started stripping!
aw! he sounds adorable. my 4 year old tears his pants off as soon as he hits the door from prek, and my 2 year old has to always wear his shoes. kids are too funny!
