Magic Shell

Not only does Ethan persist in wanting to dress himself, now he demands to choose the clothes as well. Often his choice consists of two shirts or two pants which he stubbornly tries to clothe himself with, by hook or by crook. It can be entertaining or wildly frustrating especially if we are trying to get somewhere on time. Just the other day, Keith picked out pants he thought were suitable. Ethan came out of his room and said, "Daddy, this shirt doesn't magic these pants!" Imagine a child of mine knowing something about matching clothes! Growing up, we all relied upon Karena for her intrinsic knowledge of what goes with what. She always seemed to know, as if by magic, what to wear and, more importantly, what NOT to wear. Maybe Ethan has somehow inherited some Magic Matching genes from her.
