The time Andrew spent in his cast almost helped him forget that he could actually dress himself. I was glad for the break from fighting about clothes--not that I care too much about what he wears, but I am interested in practicality and 4 shirts and 2 pairs of pants isn't really practical as far as I'm concerned.
Now, however, Andrew is back to choosing his own outfits. Like before, pajamas are his favorites. I actually took him visiting teaching last week in his pajamas (actually, two sets of pajamas--one on top of the other).
The other morning, Andrew remembered the bib and apron drawer in the kitchen. The following outfit was the result.
He is wearing his "bug pajamas" along with green socks (which have holes in them, but I'm afraid to throw them away because he will seriously miss them). The next layer features a "Cars" apron with matching chef hat. On top of that, he put on just about every bib we had in the drawer. He sported this outfit for a couple of hours--which is a fairly long time considering how often he likes to change his clothes.
On a completely different topic, we received an interesting package in the mail today. Like I wrote before, many of you did not receive your Christmas cards. Some of you received part of a battered envelope. Well, guess what came in the mail to us today?
These are some of the cards that did not make it, along with the accompanying letters and pictures--no envelopes, of course, because the envelopes are the reason the cards never made it. Included with the surviving Christmas cards was a white pages search that I am assuming was done by the post office in Cedar Rapids. It says, "Rick Mergenthaler. Is this you?"
