tough guy
Posted: under totally cool stuff.
My two year old, Kyan, is a bully. Okay, so maybe bully is a strong word. He loves to hang with his peeps. He is the first one to offer sympathy to a fallen playmate. However, his tough guy attitude can’t be missed. He walks with a strut. His motto is “my way or the highway”. He is always the leader of the pack. I’m not sure how this manifestation came about. Maybe because he is the youngest of five. Or maybe because he has testosterone poisoning. Or maybe because there is truth to the whole “don’t feed your kid candy for breakfast” thing.
Now, you wouldn’t think there was a mean bone in his body by looking at him. Sun kissed blonde hair, rosy cheeks and big blue eyes. He stands over three feet tall but somehow looks petite because, well, he is skinny. Super skinny.
It is his height that gives him the upperhand. His signature tough guy move goes something like this. Someone touches a toy he played with in the last 341 days. Of course he is instantly insulted. Like a trained ninja, he snaps his arm straight out and grabs the hair on the top of the offender’s head. He then steers the unsuspecting soul away from the toy. Roughly. With a glimmer in his eye. With candy on his breath he mutters, “sorry”.
When I stumbled on this skater shirt made by Knuckleheads Clothing, I knew I had Kyan’s new playdate uniform.

His friends instantly know he wants to be boss when he enters the room. That, and they should put a hat on - quick. Plus, it is just darn cute. It is definitely worth splurging for this must have. It is super durable because it is made from 100% poly cotton twill. Pair it with a beater tank in the spring or layered over a long sleeved tee in fall.
Plus, it’s on sale. Check it out here.
