Favorite Shirts

For as long as I can remember I have heard stories about my cousin Melonie and her favorite frog shirt. The gist of the story is that my parents went to Puerto Rico and brought home frog shirts for everyone. Mel became extremely attached to hers and it was the only shirt she would wear. Unfortunately for my poor Aunt Wendy, it was not possible to run to the store to buy more. She had to continuously wash this shirt for Mel. This story was never very significant to me until Nicholas became obsessed with trucks. We are now living the same story with only a few twists. Luckily, JCPenney has several different patterns so I was able to buy a few hundred allowing me to use the washing machine far less than my aunt. Also, although Nicholas can distinguish between brands, he will allow us to put him in the red, green, or gray truck shirt from JCPenney. I can now sympathize with my aunt and I truly see what pain she must have gone through. At Markie's graduation, my mom, dad, husband, and I all tried to put Nicholas in a cute outfit but to no avail. He was insistent upon his truck shirt for his uncle's graduation! I am just happy that he is not obsessed with only one shirt with one frog on the front!
