Baby Legs, crazy legs.

Just for the record, Jonathan is anti leg warmer, but he doesn't walk around everyday with poor Gus in flood pants. When Gus sits in the stroller, his pants pull up above his socks and he has sometimes up to a couple of inches of exposed skin. But he cannot wear the next size pants yet because the legs are too long and the waists are too big and they fall down to his knees. Solution, leg warmers. Baby Legs. They are seemingly amazing. One size fits newborn to 10 years of age! We tried them out today under a pair of chinos and they did the trick. No bare skin, so that has to equal warmth, right? When questioned Gus said he was warmer. Apparently leg warmers are pretty popular and there are not that many patterns for boys to choose from. We ended up with these:



He looks like a hockey player without garters (and pants). If he starts skate boarding these will look super stylee under board shorts. Gus referred to them once as "leg mittens," and then "long socks" and then seemed to settle on "bone socks." Other new things he said today included "people person," as in I am a people person, and "move it mummy," as in hurry up. That last one is my fault. When I am following Gus up three flights of steps with Theo in one arm and a package of diapers and a stuffed dog in the other, and Gus decides to plop down and investigate the grain of the wood on the steps, I escalate to "Move It!" I'm going to have to watch my tongue.
