Off to go apple picking...

Charlie Rocket twill pants in chestnut and ebony

I so appreciate simple, unfussed-with boys' pants (ie. no oversized cargo pockets, whisker fading or bad graphics).  Especially for babies and the new-walking "waddler" set.  These two pairs of twill pants, available in 12-18 months and 18-24 months, seem like sensible fall choices to me.  They can be dressed up or down and look like they could handle the playground admirably.  Better yet, the chestnut pair is 71% off at $11.99 (marked down from $41) and the ebony pair is $14.99, 59% off of the original $37.  Both are available with free shipping from 6pm.com, along with several other deeply-discounted pairs of Charlie Rocket twill pants.  They have perfect elasticized waist bands and I imagine that the soft twill fabric is much more pliable than stiff canvas or denim.  Perfect for a cool fall afternoon in the orchard!  There are only a handful of these left, so hurry.  Just please promise me that you will pair them with a slightly fitted long-sleeve tee shirt that leaves nothing to the imagination as far as those round 1 to 2 year-old tummies are concerned!

Once dressed in the above pants and a tummy-hugging t-shirt, he may need some good, solid footwear.  These Morgan & Milo sneaker boots are terrific.  More than half off at $23.00 on Amazon.com (with free shipping and free returns), these suede boots would keep those chubby feet safe and warm while picking your Cortlands and Crispins.  Available in sizes 4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5.
