Question

Is there any reason why I have to put clothes on my 19-month old (besides a diaper), when the temps are in the 80s to 90s, we are not going anywhwere and no one is coming over?

  1. how funny, i had the same thought this weekend.
    i smothered our son with sunscreen and diapered him up and sent him out!!!
    why bother with clothes.??? i support naked babies!!

  2. i support naked babies!!
    It’s the only time in a person’a life when someone sees you naked and thinks “oh how cute”, not “oh gosh, please, I’m blind!”

  3. + Of course not. Even if folks are around, the most you might add is a dear little gingham diaper cover — do they make those any more? Nothing is more summery than gingham, in my memories (streaked with watermelon stains on the best of days!)

  5. “i support naked babies!!”
    Sure, why not.
    I think the favorite time of day for Cecilia, our 2-year old, is just before bathtime when she can proudly proclaim, “My naked!”
    Coming home from Mass yesterday, our house was rather warm (we believe in air conditioning only when absolutely necessary; i. e., when heat stroke is imminent), and my beloved wife let Cecilia sit in just her diaper and Teresa (our 3-year old), in just her underpants, to eat a snack.
    Teresa made the observation, “Look, Daddy! We’re naked like Adam and Eve were naked!”
    I couldn’t help but smile.

  6. I say nuts to the diaper — I take mine out, cover em in sunscreen and throw on a hat, and let them piddle in the yard! 🙂

  7. John,
    Cecilia sounds so smart. My two year olds never speak that well. Correction, my dd started speakinig at like 6 mos and is still going…

  8. Amalia runs around naked (in private), and she is four. Only the Irish get all tied up in knots over the slightest whiff of nudity.
    Of course, if it were Irish we were…never mind. I will only get in trouble with that comment.

  9. Why on earth would anyone care?
    I say, diapers all the way! Nothing cuter than round baby legs and tummies!

  11. Diapers are summer clothes, I thought. Ooops maybe that’s why my neighbors look at my baby funny! If I could keep clothes on the 5 year old, life would be good, but why stress, less laundry if they are naked!
