Over the years, we have seen many little “fashionistas” parading their styles through our classrooms. Behind them are parents who are just rolling their eyes and apologizing for their child’s appearance. :>)
We are here to tell you there is no need to apologize. Some children just love to experiment with clothes and it brings a smile to us all!
A parent recently shared her experience with her tiny fashion bug and we thought we would share it with you:
“When my youngest was small he wanted to be a fireman. This isn’t uncommon with little boys, however, my son took it a little further than most I met. My son used a pair of his brother’s jeans with suspenders and some black rainboots with yellow trim. Every night before bed he would take off his “turnout gear” and set it next to his bed. Every morning he sprang out of bed and jumped into his turnout gear ready to take on the day.
“One day my husband took him to preschool and was apologizing to the teacher for his son wearing the same clothes every day. The teacher, having seen a lot of kids pass through her classroom said, ‘Relax! No one thinks you dressed him!’
“So let your daughter wear purple socks with a green dress. Let your son wear bunny ears if it makes him happy. My son is now 11 and he doesn’t wear turnout gear anymore.”
Thanks For sharing this great story!
