Boys in tights

UPDATE:

According to my blogger stats, this is my most viewed post ever with regular visits every day from people searching for boys in tights. I sincerely hope that you are not spaking your monkey over photographs of my 4 year old son. If you are, then you are a monumental pervert and deserve to die sad and lonely as you almost certainly will

Have a nice day :-)


Apparently it is fairly normal for young boys to wear tights here in the winter to keep warm. It makes some sense and you can even buy them with cars and planes on them for boys. DK has some of these that MK has bought for him and they work really well when he is in his brace.

Last week MK took the boys shopping in town and she happened to mention that they had bought J some more spiderman sock and some tights. She didn't mention the colour.

At first I was somewhat horrified that my some was going to be wearing pink tights and even more concerned that the other kids in his nursery would be mean to him about them.
He wore them for the first time on Sunday and absolutely loves them to the extent that it is a fight to get him out of them (unless he pees in them) and I really can't find it in me to see anything wrong about it. He simply loves running around the house in them and I am fairly sure that none of the other kids will care in his nursery, after all, he has flowers on his rain coat :-)
DK is doing fine, and remains as cheerful as ever.

    I have many shirts and socks that color. I love it!
    What's wrong with pink?
    J is a budding metrosexual. Fully in touch with his feminine side.

  2. I have no problem with the pink tights and he is very proud of them. I just don't want the other kids to be mean to him.

    They look great, y-fronts underneath.
    I'm going to get some before my visit.
    Someone obviously bought them for J, not you.

    I'm not sure cousin Tim would 'get it'. Here, pink is firmly for little sisters and so are tights!

    Boys like pink!!!!
    We have a similar problem with Thomas at the moment - he has a thing about Jessica's shoes - epecially any of her pink boots/wellies! Luckily I've been able to convince him to take them off before leaving the house! Whilst they are too big I think I'll get away with it!

    J's tights provoked much discussion at the World Service today, it seems international colleasgues are very relaxed about them. Fortunately for J they haven't become a major global news item just yet.
