Picture This

Cold, rain, a bit windy.

Now, what is missing? Really. WHAT is missing? Can you imagine how we walked into Kaylee's preschool class today? Jacob in his navy blue hooded rainslicker with his black shoes and white socks separated only by his cute, chubby, bare legs.

Why? Oh yes, that was the question asked (nonverbally, mostly) by many. Why indeed. We were having a learning opportunity. Yep. That's what you get when you cross a recalcitrant* toddler with a hormonal mommy. Thankfully, it was a bit windy and Jacob was uncomfortably cold. He decided pants were a good choice for the day. Good choice indeed.

*recalcitrant - resistant, difficult to manage
