Most people assume that if they have boys, they won’t run into the same issues that girls typically have.\u00a0 Specifically, issues relating to clothes.\u00a0 Well, not so and I have a two-year old boy to prove it.<\/p>\n

Kyle has decided to show us his independence\u00a0through his choice of clothes.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as the colour.\u00a0 In fact, Kyle insists on wearing brand name clothes only.\u00a0 Now, I’m not talking brand name like Hugo Boss<\/a>, Louis Vitton\u00a0or Lacoste<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m talking, Elmo, Thomas, Cars and smurfs.\u00a0 Unless it’s one of those, he refuse to wear it.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The problem is, 80% of the clothes he owns, are not his brand of choice.\u00a0 About a year ago, when I went to Joe Fresh<\/a>, I found tons of great shirts for him size 2T (about a year out).\u00a0 They were all on sale for approximately $3, so I couldn’t resist buying them, and smiling to myself about what a great super saver shopper I am.\u00a0 Well, I couldn’t have been any more wrong!\u00a0 I’m lucky if I’m able to persuade him to wear any of those shirts.<\/p>\n

Some of the tactics that I’ve used include: “The Elmo shirt is itchy, mommy needs to wash it so you HAVE TO wear this one until the Elmo shirt is clean”.\u00a0 Or, “look, there’s a backpack on this shirt, just like Dora.\u00a0 Don’t you want to be like Dora?” and my all-time favourite “look at the _____ (fill in the blank with whatever animal is on the shirt).\u00a0 Let’s go and try to find this ‘animal’ today”.\u00a0 I’m usually lucky enough that these work, especially if he hasn’t spotted one of his favourite shirts. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve even decided to go and purchase a few more of his brand name shirts, but then my husband keeps reminding me that we have a closet full of clothes that he’s never even wore.\u00a0 He’s right, I can’t justify spending more money on 2-year-old clothes.\u00a0 I just have to do laundry more often I guess!!\u00a0 During a more recent shopping trip, I just let Kyle pick out the clothes. While they didn’t have any of his favourites, he did choose two. One had a cool dinosaur on it, and the other was of a bulldozer.\u00a0 And since he picked it out, he hasn’t minded wearing them all that much. If you are struggling to find clothes that your kids will love wearing, feel free to shop on sites like Boutique Lilo & Stitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Girl or boy, do your kids have any funny \/ frustrating phases like this one?\u00a0 I’m sure that just like every other phase, this one is sure to pass.\u00a0 But in the meantime, please share your secrets with me.\u00a0 I’d love to hear \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
