Whoops

No picture with this post, thankfully.

Our hectic lives (new house, old house, studying, etc. etc.) means that some details are getting a little overlooked lately. Like, Monkey's shorts. He is tall enough for 5T clothes, but the taller he gets, the smaller he gets around the waist. So we bought 5T clothes and washed them and sent him out into the world. This works out fine for jeans and sweatpants, which have elastic waists and can often be adjusted. Shorts... they have elastic but can't be adjusted at all, and aren't as stretchy as the sweats, maybe?

So today when Monkey got up from the floor at school, his pants fell down around his ankles. And everyone got to see his Lego Star Wars underpants, which are even baggier since they're size 5-6. He acted out the entire scene for us at dinner; with hands over mouths and audible gasps for his teachers, and hilarious guffaws for his friends.



This is quite possibly the best thing that has ever happened to him.



We don't want to perpetuate body shaming, and I certainly can appreciate how great it feels to make people laugh. We just need to have some conversations about how you need to keep your pants on while being entertaining.
