Well first off, it's so nice when it turns out your kid actually learns something from you. For all these years, I've been the one who swapped the kids' closets each season. The only part they had to play was to try on some of the previous season's items to make sure they fit. I got everything out, I went through it, I packed the out of season clothes away.
This year I mentioned to Reed that he needed to swap to summer clothes a few weeks ago, and asked if he wanted help. He said nope, he would take care of it. And he did! Okay so he just tossed the things that didn't fit onto the hallway floor, but still! He put the summer things in the dresser and loaded the winter things in the bin in his closet. A total win!!
Then he said he need a few new pairs of shorts and shirts and asked if we could go shopping. When I picked myself up off the floor, I said sure! So we headed out to Kohls, where he picked out some shorts and a t-shirt. Then he asked "Can I get this?" and pointed to a mint-colored button-up shirt with flamingos on it. Again, I picked myself up off the floor and said of course we could. He even picked a second button-up shirt with palm trees on it. For serious. Button up shirts! Voluntarily!
The wonders never cease!
