Why a 5 year old should dress himself....

Tonight as I was trying to get the boys into bed. I tell Keith to please take off his clothes and I will get him some pajamas to put on so we can get into bed soon, because it was already past his bedtime. He says okay and I head down to Alex's room to change Alex's diaper and put his pajamas on him. I am in mid diaper change and I hear Keith yell down the hall way....

"Mommy....come here!"

"What is it Keith? I am changing your brother's diaper."

"LOOK you have to see this!"

"What is wrong Keith?"

"Mommy....I have two pairs of underwear on!"

By now I am chuckling to myself because I think that he is just being silly because he wants some attention which is something normal for him to want. So I continue....

"Keith...you don't have two pairs of underwear on, I will be right there to help you get your pajamas on"

"MOMMY, YES I DO! LOOK!"

By now I am walking down the hallway with Alex all clean and changed and I get to the livingroom and I see him bending over pulling down his underwear only to reveal another pair of underwear!

"Keith, what did you do?"

"I didn't do it Mommy....this is your fault! You got me dressed this morning for school!"

By now....I am laughing so hard! This is why a very tired, sleepy Mommy should not dress a 5 year old for school because she cannot be trusted to know to take one pair of underwear off before she puts another pair on!

Okay....everyone you may laugh at me....it was so very funny!
