Insisted on getting dressed entirely by himself. Took 25 minutes. He came out wearing his Spider-Man shirt backwards, shorts on inside out, and one shoe.
Did I fix it? No. Let him walk around like that all morning. Sometimes you just gotta let them fail in harmless ways. He felt proud as hell and honestly it was hilarious.
one shoe gang represent 🤝 my 4yo did this last month and walked around the grocery store like it was totally normal. honestly respect the confidence
This is the way. Let him be a little weirdo. He's learning that his choices have consequences (uncomfortable shorts lol) and building confidence. Plus the Spider-Man shirt backwards is peak 4yo energy
this is the move honestly. my oldest looks back at photos from when he was that age and laughs at the outfits he insisted on. let him build his own style choices while he's small enough that it doesn't matter
25 minutes is actually insane. My 3yo takes like 45 for socks alone. You're winning here
lmao the one shoe detail got me. Did he at least TRY to find the other one or was he just vibing with asymmetrical footwear
Respect. I would've fixed it immediately but you're right that's the wrong move. Gotta let them own the chaos
did the same with my daughter at that age. she wore her rain boots to preschool for like 2 weeks straight, inside-out socks too. teacher said nothing, I said nothing. she eventually got bored

lol this is peak parenting. the backwards spider-man shirt is actually iconic, he's fashion forward
25 minutes is actually impressive? mine takes 45 and still ends up with two pairs of underwear on top of pants. the backwards shirt is just him being creative
