Every few months we find that Juma is growing out of all his clothes, and we head down to a consignment store to buy some used, but nice, clothing for him. Justin and I generally each pick out a few shirts and pants, then switch piles to veto any of the other's picks. (I just couldn't do camouflage pants.) Then we hand the pile to Juma so he can express what he really likes, and he definitely has a personality in clothing preferences.
These are some things he likes best:
Sports! Football jerseys, basketball tank-tops (anything sleeveless, really, which sometimes looks a little white trash), basketball shorts.
More sports! Any non-jersey T-shirt that has a picture of some sport activity on it. Snowboards (which Juma claimed was ice-skating), monster trucks (you can dispute whether this is a sport or not), race cars, basketballs.
Animals. Tree frogs, snakes, geckos. Dinosaurs. Rhinos. Sharks. Anything creepy, crawly.
Favorite color for shirts: orange. But blues and dark reds figure prominently in his wardrobe, because that's what companies make for boys.
Just in case anyone was wondering about his gender identity...
