Did you know that Spiderman is really an alligator?

And, why did it take me 20 minutes to put a shirt on a toddler this morning?

Morgan has started to care about what he wears. He is very specific about his clothes. This morning I tried to put my choice of clothing on him and he had a complete mental breakdown while screaming ALLIGATOR SHIRT! ALLIGATOR SHIRT!!!!! Well, the sweet child has a pajama set with an alligator on the shirt and patterned all over the pants. We are going to open play at WinKids today. I thought, "what the heck? This is a battle he can win". PJ's sound like a fabulous pairing with the blue boots he also insisted on wearing. So, I begin tearing the house apart (dirty laundry, clean pile of laundry, clothes in washer, clothes in dryer and his closet) looking for the shirt. I finally found it in a pile of clean laundry. I tried to put it on him and again he nearly split an artery. Now he is yelling ALLIGATOR MAN! ALLIGATOR MAN!!!!!!!! Of course! It hit me. He meant his Spiderman shirt. It was in his dirty clothes. My child is dressed in dirty clothes today.
