It reminds me so much of a jumper (hmmm, I think you guys call them a pinafore maybe -- or not -- it's not an apron but rather a dress that has no sleeves that you wear over a shirt?) that I had when I was a little girl -- oh how I loved my little jumper. It's PERFECT with that bow tie. Your boy is obviously a keeper and you're a wonderful Mum.

How lovely to have a boy who knows exactly what he likes. My littlest boy has his own style, which always makes us laugh, but he is so certain about it I generally just go along with it. I hope you all have a good weekend.
