Yesterday I took Charlie to get his school tie; he wore it home in the car, clipped on over his t-shirt. It was a good look.

Today he asked, “When can I try my uniform on? And when are you going to take the tags off my tie?”

After his bath he got completely dressed, in his button down and his navy pants (which are far too big, of course, and were falling off of him) and his tie. He loves the tie; it’s almost too bad he’ll only be wearing it once a week.

He looked like a little tiny man in his shirt and tie.

At bedtime, when I snuggle with Charlie, I will ask him, “Are you big or little?” For a long time he always said, “I am LITTLE!” but lately he has started saying, “Both! Can I be both?”

Yes, of course. Always.
