The fun of having two littlies is that they occasionally share things like sleep disruption and teething (Ez is getting more back teeth- ouch!)
As Ez is a little shorter than the average two and a half year old and Seth is pretty much average height (and double avergage girth- he is hench) they are sharing clothes. The double buggy weighs a ton which is giving me wicked muscles, and a bad back.
The great news is that this season's Minks hats are in production. Ez is already sporting an bonfire inspired orange and red stripy number with bobbles which he insists on calling bells "just like Noddy". Seth is modeling a oceanic themed blue green and turquoise beanie. John wants to divorce me after only a week of clacking knitting needles.
(Yes, Ezra is indeed bereft of clothing. He is still going through his "I be naked!" phase)
