Little Man in Tights

Just wanted to write a short post about MB’s new outfits….Whenever he wears socks, they get kicked off. Often within minutes. On two separate occasions (one in Brookline and one recently here), on a Friday night walk back home from someone’s meal, we look down at our sweet little guy, all bundled up in the cold Winter evening, and what?!?!?! he’s barefoot! And I must say that both times Yaakov voluntarily and immediately back-tracked to go and hunt down the tiny sock(s)!

So we have found a solution. It works well, and keeps him warmer. I’m sure you all figured it out…our little boy is wearing tights!! I don’t know if this is a “trick of the trade” that everyone smart does, but we just figured this one out (with the help of some of our Israeli friends). We hope we won’t be casuing some sort of identity crisis years from now…and FYI, if you’re looking for a pair, they are called “garbiyonim.”
