i took this photo of ryder today for no other reason than to remember the moment...remember the shirt. a couple days ago, i blogged about this shirt being his favorite. well, today...it was confirmed. i think this shirt has become another lovey or something. he wants to wear it every day, morning, noon and night. i'm not sure why. he just does. there's nothing special about the shirt as far as i can tell but...it sure must be magical.

today, ryder went into the laundry hamper to get the shirt--the dirty shirt--which he had worn yesterday. and just moments after bringing it to me, i discovered that he had pulled every shirt out of his drawers and threw them all over his room (my guess...a frantic search for the shirt). later, after his bath, i put him in his pajamas (ones that he picked out, of course) and the next thing i know, he has the shirt on again, inside out over his pajamas. he fussed enough about his pajama shirt that steve took it off and let ryder wear the shirt by itself. so tonight, ryder went to bed in the shirt, a dirty shirt, a shirt he loves and is not worth fighting over.

p.s. i never had this problem with my two girls.
