I saw this really cute picture of a little girl dressed in her dad's clothes and I was inspired to recreate it with my boys for Father's Day. I thought Michael would love playing dress up in Joey's clothes. I got Rafael all dressed up and sat him on the floor where he sat quietly and smiled, ready for his close up.
I then tried to get Michael dressed. It took a lot of struggling and bribing to get him dressed. He then refused to sit, or stand, still so I said he could hold his brother if he would sit still. This was the result:
This picture didn't look anything like what I was going for so I tried to get the boys to sit on the floor. Michael ran around screaming like he was on fire. I couldn't get him to sit, stand, smile, or even look in my general direction. I used all my tricks. I was chasing him around the house, trying to get any picture possible, when he began rolling around on the floor and since he couldn't get his arms out of the sleeves, he started screaming "MY ARMS, MY ARMS, MY ARMS!!! I kept trying to help him but I couldn't keep up with him. I was out of breath and trying very hard to calm Michael who kept rolling around in hysteria. I thought for sure he was going to rip Joey's shirt. I tried to bring Rafael over to Michael but he couldn't stop his little body for one second. He was running, rolling, jumping then began screaming "This is terr-wi-ble, this is terr-wi-ble!!" This whole time Rafael never moved, and never stopped smiling.

I said to Michael, "Yes, it is terrible and it will be over if you will just sit for one second and look at me. I sat him next to Rafael, he screamed, I snapped a shot.
And just like that, he was off.
VOILA-
And here is the card we made for Joey. Michael answered all the questions I asked him. I wasn't sure he would be able to complete the sentences but I was very impressed with his answers. And he even signed his name with a scribble at the top.
Joey was happy. He's only the best daddy two little boys could ask for :)
