Clan Donald

More than 30 years ago, my grandfather set off on an adventure to Scotland to trace his Donald lineage. He brought my mother some Donald dress tartan, which she turned into a skirt and a pint size kilt.  Both my brother and I were photographed wearing that kilt...and here's James' version. It's barely able to buckle and gapped in the front. And the challenges of getting him to stand still, well, this was the best of the bunch:

James wears the kilt in 2011 at 28 mos.

Jenny @1980 at 2yo and Zak @1984 at 22 mos. in the kilt.

While we're comparing pictures of these hand-me-down clothes, I found a picture of me wearing the denim overalls that my mom made from an old pair of my Dad's jeans.  I must have been close to a year here, while James was only around 5 months!
