for the freedom to be whoever you want to be!
shades & bling picked up at a garage sale this morning
I adore that our two little guys love to dress up. Sometimes, like today, they go without the full suit but they always have some quirky accessory that serves some kind of meaningful purpose. In fact, our 6 yr old doesn't even consider it to be 'dressing up', to him its just being whoever he feels like being on the day, accessories and all! The best part is that he doesn't notice people stare, he says 'Hi' to them casually when they seek him out and comment on his attire. I am so grateful that he does what he loves & that he is
just who he is, may he always have that freedom...
Gorgeous boys Mel, and very cool finds at the garage sale!
ReplyDeleteMr rabbit has just been donated to Hope Softies......thanks for the idea.
I love that you let him express this! It won't be long and I guess he'll stop doing it...but it is so lovely while it lasts :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely gratefuls Mel :-)

I love this post Mel! I love it when my kids express themselves in their crazy outfits and I love it when I see others looking all done up and amazing. I hope your boys don't grow out of it in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteThey'll be creative forever with this sort of spirit and with you as their mum. Lucky boys. x
ReplyDeletebeautiful post Mel,
ReplyDeleteit's sad when we stop being who we really want to be & try to fit into this puzzle in life.
keep being whoever you want to be little ones

Oh i LOVE this, i never bought costumes & never really thought of them as dress ups as my 4 would LOVE accessories!! Nothing like a boy wearing shades & beads. Better yet, his parents letting him. Love it, love Posie
ReplyDeleteI love that kids can just be themselves without the outside influences...and to parents who allow them to do just that. My 8yo loves dressing up and often will be seen outside donned in something or other.
ReplyDeleteHave passed an award that I received on to you.

those welding goggles are just the bomb!
ReplyDeletehmm need at least three pairs as well I think for our tribe . . . if the have as much fun as yours are it is well worth the "investment"
I love how your boys are full of life and character, that they enjoy expressing themselves and are happy to be them. I just love watching children dressing up and having fun. Beautiful post. xo
ReplyDeleteCool kids! Sounds like your a great Mum :-)
ReplyDeleteHej Mel!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet cute post...awwww
You took me back to when my boys were little :D They are teenagers now
Fond memories of my 2 boys, the eldest one in particular LOVED dressing up...even in his sister's tutu and my high heeled brown boots, his Dad was a bit worried when he was still doing at 6/7...but like you say...so innocent, they are 'just' in that moment...wish I could live my life more like that.
Happy Days...
LOVE PEACE enJOY your boys always
Julie
