Add to that when I found out I was having twins!! Oh my - I was in excitement overdrive. Then add again to that - when I found out I was having the perfect set of boy and girl twins.
I am a southern girl. And most southern girls love to have a house full of monogrammed things, and kids wearing smocked, monogrammed outfits. I was that mother. I have the house full of monogrammed things. I was going to have the boy and girl twins that matchy-matchyed each and every Sunday to church. Jules in her sweet smocked monogrammed dress and Josh is his JonJon and knee socks would be the talk of the nursery.
And then they came out of my body. My kids aren't the smocked kind. They just aren't. It isn't their personality. Josh is too much of boy to wear such things. Are they cute on other boys? Sure! But I have found his fashion look to be teenager-frat-boy trapped in a baby's body. Honestly. I have dressed him (and her) in a smocked outfit only once, and that was for their 6 month pictures.
Maybe it's me. I love shopping for clothes for them, and they are my little dolls. And smocked things just aren't much fun for me. I love fashion, and love different things for them to wear. And, I'm sorry but when I saw that they make little mini-me Polo zip sweaters in Josh-type size that match his Daddy's, well, they had to resuscitate me because I died.

I love this because I see so many boys in the smocked Jonjons that look RIDICULOUS. I am not big on smocking in general, although I do like jonjons in the summer, but I remember putting Declan in one when he was 2, and thinking he looked like a cross-dresser! I have a friend with a great big honking boy, he's been a chunk and a half since birth -- total linebacker material. And that child wears smocking every. single. day. It looks hilarious! I do think some kids have the personality for it, but some don't, and I'm glad you recognized it!
ReplyDeleteI always love the outfits you put the babes in! They are always cute smocked or not ;)
ReplyDeleteI went CRAZY when I found out I was having a girl the first time, because I thought it was going to be dress up parties every day! Boy was I wrong!! Isn't it funny how things change?? :)
