jack was very fortunate to have received many wonderful gifts when he was born. and many of those gifts were clothes -- everything from plain onesies, to khakis with a ribbon belt, to a puffy down vest, to a cashmere cardigan with matching booties, to hand-knit sweaters and hats.
and mommy was adamant that jack wear everything he was gifted with ... at least once. so, yesterday was the day that we completed that assignment and reached our goal.
normally roxana arrives just as we are finishing breakfast and she gets jack dressed for the day. as it turns out, she views this as a perk. she says the other nannies with whom she and jack hang out are not allowed to select the daily outfits for their charges -- instead their mothers lay out the clothes the children are to wear. so they all envy roxana and compliment her on the adorable combinations she comes up with. this is all according to roxana, of course. but, hey, if it makes her happy and it's seasonally appropriate, who is mommy to quarrel?
but ... roxana had to be a bit late monday morning, so mommy seized the opportunity to dress jack in the final untouched costume. jack wore:
the brazilian outfit!
this was a very sweet gift from a colleague and friend of jack's grandad, who was very excited about the arrival of our beautiful boy:
and though it looks like something from an alpine village of yesteryear crossed with a japanese flea market ... it also looks super-cute on our precious babe:
(look closely at the gathered waist)
anyway, it's getting a little short, so it probably won't get too many more wearings. but we had fun on this day.
and roxana reports all the nannies crowed over how cute it was.
