The Green Shirt

Joseph has been obsessed with wearing a certain green striped shirt he owns because he wants to look like Steve from "Blues Clues." The trouble is, he only has 1 green striped shirt, and there are 7 days in the week....it is hard to keep it constantly clean. I've had to take away the shirt - by force - after several days in a row of him wearing it in order to put it the laundry.

But since today is St. Patrick's Day, I managed to wash the green striped shirt and give it to him to wear. His face lit up, he snatched the shirt, tore off his other shirt, and put it on, exclaiming

"You're the GREATEST mom EVER! Because GREEN is my FAVORITE color!"

It's nice to know that it doesn't take much to be "the greatest mom ever." ;-)

Maybe we should buy him a couple more green shirts...
