Kaya the designer :: by mama

Chris and Kaya recently acquired something that is a first for both of them: custom suits.  Chris, for his part, only has one suit, the first suit he had ever owned, purchased in 2002.  It is the suit he has worn to every wedding and formal occasion since then.  We'll be attending our good friends Mike and CJ's wedding this summer, so we decided that it was time to have a new suit made for Chris and, while we were at it, why not one for Kaya as well?  It's not weird for a 4-year-old to have a custom suit, is it?

I explained to Kaya that I was going to look up some suit designs on the Internet, to print out and give to the tailor.  He declared that he would design his own suit and promptly got out the markers and paper. Here is the design that he came up with.  Note that it incorporates his two favorite colors, in the form of a pink jacket and purple pants.

We explained that we would do our best to accommodate him, but that suit fabrics normally do not come in pink and purple.  Thus commenced our family excursion to the tailor shop, where Kaya chose his own shirt fabric and we then jointly chose a coordinating suit fabric.  Here is a sneak peek at the final result.

Stay tuned to see all of us (okay, three out of four of us, because Kiran will most likely attend the wedding in his standard attire of a onesie and maybe pants) in our new clothes this summer!
