Matching is overrated

We are having J's birthday party at Gymboree. The kids will have a chance to climb, jump, play, and do parachute time. Gymboree is one of those places where you have to remove your shoes. So in a moment of pure genius, I decided to get each partygoer a pair of socks. And what better than character socks for toddlers?

The girl guests are getting princess socks. The boy guests are getting CARS socks. As previously stated , CARS is J's obsession. So it was only fitting that we got J 3 pairs of socks.

Being almost 3 means that he has to put the socks on immediately. There is no patience when you're 3. I pull the tags off and start to put his new socks on. But no, I am stopped. I'm doing it wrong. He must wear a different sock on each foot. Matt points out that they don't technically match. And J says: they're both cars! Why yes, they are.
