Aidan does not wear pants unless required by school rules. Special Dress Day, which happens 2 or 3 times a year, and band performances call for pants. Therefore, Aidan owns one pair of black pants and intermittently is in possession of one pair of pants suitable for ourdoor wear, in the event that he has a class trip to climates colder than ours. He also owns an antique 3 piece tuxedo that his Grandma Annie bought him. However, in preparation for a trip he and Zoey are taking to NYC from 12/29 - 1/1 with their Grandma Annie, the boy needed some real pants. There was a blizzard not three days before their arrival, almost preventing the trip, and temperatures were in the high 30s. So, when an unfortunate accident called for a trip to the Apple store to fix the screen of my computer (don't even ask) we capitalized on our misfortune with a visit to the Gap, where I needed to return something. We lucked out because they were having a 50% off sale that ended a mere 45 minutes after we entered the store. Thanks to the gentle touch and fashion sense of Liane, Aidan left the store with a dashing pair of skinny corduroys, a suave cardigan and a spectacular pea coat. Actually, we had to order the coat from the Horton Plaza store and Bill picked it up that night. Anyway, it's almost like we have a whole new boy in the house!
The beret is leftover from his halloween costume - Che Guevara. He likes to wear it but does get called names like "communist" and what not when at school and thus worries about the impression he makes elsewhere.
