Nathan was getting dressed for today, which he does usually with no help from me. However, this time he needed my help. He came running into the room in what appeared to be a pair of rather tight and a little bit too short cargo shorts. He begged, "Help me momma!" while he struggled with the snap. I turned him toward me and looked at the snap. The two sides of the fly wouldn't even meet over the flat plane of his belly. I stared a moment in confusion, my first thought being, "He could NOT have grown this fast without me noticing!" I looked closer at the shorts and realized they were tight all over, not just the waist. I asked aloud, "What size are these??" I pulled the shorts off while he stood staring at the cartoons on the TV. I looked at the waist band fully expecting to see 2T. Instead I was surprised and even more confused to see the number 6!! I grasped the tag in the shorts and fully unfolded it, and saw the characters 6M. For a brief second I was mystified, then I realized: these aren't shorts!! Nathan was trying to put on Stella's little cargo pants! I was pretty impressed at how a little pair of six month old pants nearly fit him like shorts. I also thought is was really funny, because it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland when she drinks the potion and becomes too tall for her dress!

How on earth did he even get them on?! I was folding a pair of Serenity's pants, size 12-18 months and they look like doll clothes!
