Is it weird that my son rarely wears pants? I was just thinking this the other day while looking at a co-worker’s baby’s pics on Facebook. Her adorable son is dressed in the cutest little skater outfits – little polo shirts, hip hoodies, and adorable cargo pants – all in teeny tiny 3 month sizes, of course. And then there’s Cy, almost always wearing onesies and socks. Sans pants.

The other day, a lady on the street thought he was a she. Had I dressed my son in pants, could this awkward moment have been avoided? Is the future of his children (my grandchildren!) compromised as a result of 3 poorly placed snaps wedged in his crotch? If he could talk would he say: “Mom, do I look like Lady Gaga to you? Put me in some pants for God’s sakes!”

One day, my son might choose Speedos over swimming trunks, all because I conditioned him to enjoy the snugness of a onesie over the freedom of a loose fitting pant.

What kind of mother am I?
