Gio recently graduated to underwear from pull ups. He's very proud he's making less of a carbon footprint on planet Earth, since he no longer contributes to the landfill diaper build up.
Although he insists on wearing underwear backwards because, "the picture goes in the front, Mommy."
Any reasonable person who has ever put their underwear on backwards, knows immediately, their underwear's backwards without looking because it just doesn't feel right. Then again I must be off my rocker thinking a three year old is reasonable, especially this one.
He keeps explaining "the picture goes in the front," to me in exasperation hoping and praying one day I will just get it. Which, ironically is exactly how I feel. However, I am hopeful one day he will get it because his brother went through the same "backwards underwear phase."
"If you put them on that way, it's going to be very uncomfortable. It's going to hurt your butt."
"No, it feels fine," he says.
Obviously, someone without kids designed underwear with the picture on the back. The graphic should be on the front and upside down. Duh!
He loves his underwear so much he changes if frequently, which I'm sure someday will make someone happy. Someone that doesn't have to do his laundry.
He also likes to have a spare pair or two in his hand, much like other children carry around stuffed animals, for comfort and security.
And my very favorite is when he wears it on his head with a look on his face that says, "I can't believe no one else has thought of this? Silly, silly fools!"
He proudly tells everyone about his underwear, which most strangers find terribly embarrassing.
When we went underwear shopping and were in line making the purchase he announced to Motorcycle Guy behind us, "I just bought underwear!"
"Oh, really........" says Motorcycle Guy, who had totally forgotten how exciting those days were, especially for me.
In line at Trader Joe's, he told twenty-something Check Out guy, "I have underwear on."
Check out guy informs Gio, "that isn't appropriate to be telling people. You really should keep that to yourself." Then Check Out guy rambled on about the inappropriateness of Pirate's Booty in certain contexts.....I think he was playing AM radio in his head.
On cue I say, "yeah, stop talking about your underwear. You're embarrassing Mommy."

Just wait...when the novelty wears off he'll try to go without it. We have to do underwear checks in my house in the morning on school days. The five year old tries NEVER to wear it so I tell him school days "yes", weekends "optional". But then again my boys seem to think that clothing is optional anyway. One foot in the door to the house and most clothing is shed. Is this what happens when you go to Esalen when you are pregnant?
boyz underwear is overrated, it's a bit of conspiracy to be honest.
the only thing it does is make the pants last a little longer before washing!
I have noticed people who are exposed to Esalen are a bit more "free spirited."
Boys' underwear a conspiracy for what????
OMG! Where can I buy underwear with pictures on it? I'd wear them on my head too, if it was cold out :)

I don't understand why the checkout guy couldn't be happy for Gio. C'mon, it took him THREE years to wear underwear. It's like telling someone who graduated from college who says "I'm a graduate!" that they should keep that to themselves. I mean, in Gio's three year old time span, this is a major life changing moment. He's in the real world now...NOW when he has to doo-die, he's got to think about consequences before he goes! No more soggy absorbant tissue to wisk away the moisture.
You go GIO!!! Proclaim your fame! You go boy!!! be proud! Underwearians-R-us!!
It's definitely an amazing accomplishment. And we've all been there.
I have found the underwear make a nice headband, as well.
