big butt baby pants for boys

It is high time I joined the sewing for boys fun this month, don't you think?  Over the weekend I made four pairs of toddler-sized Big Butt Baby Pants - one for Oscar, and three for some of our best NYC pals.

I posted a few months ago how much I like this pattern (from Made by Rae), but I think I love it ten times more on a toddler.  Oscar is a fan, too.  Do you like his breakfast spot?  He likes to perch high on a stool and eat his waffles on the dishwasher.  We are the picture of safety over here.

I was even able to stretch the pattern to fit a slim 4-year old by adding several inches to the hemline.  I cut the rest of the pattern to the normal 2T size and it is still a perfect fit.

Ok, this next pair is for a girl ... but the point is, this is a great pattern!

Also, I bought a box of gorgeous ranunculus this weekend to plant in our window boxes, despite the fact that I am a notorious plant-killer.  Here's hoping I can remember to water them this go round!
