Calvin's yellow shoes

The other night, I set out Calvin's church clothes on his dresser.

The next morning, when I sent the kids to get dressed, Calvin pointed at his brown and white dress-shirt and asked John, "what's this?"

John was like, "What do you mean, what's this? This is your shirt."

Calvin replied, "Oh, I can't wear this shirt. It doesn't match my yellow shoes."

These are Calvin's yellow shoes:

Nevermind the blue stripes. These shoes are yellow.

And Calvin insists on wearing them every single day.

It's a tough job finding something yellow to wear every day, to match his shoes.

Calvin says "I like the color yellow, because I like daytime."

Yes, this boy is my sunshine.

In some ways Calvin is so different from the rest of the family. I often marvel "who is this little creature running through my house?"

But then I remember, as a child, I was actually a lot like Calvin.

I looked up to my older sister Jessica.

Calvin looks up to his older brother Finn.

I copied whatever Jessica did.

Calvin copies whatever Finn does.

I remember that as a kid, when my sister named her brown bear "Freckles", I had to name my white bear "Freckled Ham". Original, I know.

But I think it's sweet that my boys have same type of relationship that I had with my older sister.(O'course I'm crazy about my younger sister, Lindsay, too:)

Even though Calvin closely follows Finn's footsteps, he certainly has a flare and style all of his own!
