I love my little Caleb . Today is his birthday. He and I had a fabulous trip to the library,just the two of us. On the way back we had this great conversation.
Me: Caleb, you are five years old. Why won't you wear underwear or socks?
Caleb: I don't like them. Why do you guys call me "Bubs" sometimes?
Me: it's just a fun nickname.
C: if I had a different nickname what would it be?
Me: um. I don't know. Do you have any ideas?
C: how about Max? I like Max. Maybe I would wear underwear if you called me Max.
Me: really? If I called you Max you would start wearing underwear? How about socks?
C: Socks?! No! I won't wear socks!
So Caleb named Max might give in on underwear.Maybe there is some ultimate nickname that will
inspire socks AND underwear.
At least summer is coming, socks won't be as necessary.
ReplyDeleteAlex couldn't STAND socks or underwear. I (eventually) figured it out that he has some sensory issues. Socks were actually the easy part--he can wear them as long as they are turned inside out so the "toe line" doesn't rub on his feet. Huh. who knew?
