Is that a kitty or is that Benson?

On Saturday afternoon Benson, Ava and Natalie decided to play dress up and as we all know every princess needs a kitty. Since the only one who fit in the kitty costume was Benson, he was the obvious choice and he loved it. When Jut started getting him ready for bed he refused to take it off and so we let him sleep in it. The only way I got him out of it on Sunday was by convincing him that couldn't wear it in the bathtub and after he got out of the tub he threw a fit because I wouldn't let him wear it to church. As soon as he walked in the door from church he began taking off his clothes and asking for his "kitty". Jut even added to the overall "kitty" effect by drawing whiskers on his cheeks . Then he would get upset when I washed his face,
"no wash my kitty off mom".

He wore the suit to eat, play and sleep in from Sunday until Tuesday night. He even went shopping with me in it. On Tuesday night we bribed him with a bath to get him out of it. As any mother of a two year old knows, any piece of clothing that has been worn for that long gets just a tad bit filthy, so it found its way into the bottom of the laundry basket so that it would not be easily found.

We put pjs on him for bed but when he came down this morning the first thing he said to me was "I need my kitty, Mom, I need my kitty". I told him it was still dirty and I was able to get him into regular clothes. We will see how long that lasts.:)
