Fortunately, we bought two of that one, so he's usually clean, but I'm sure his teachers wonder what's up with us as a family that he always wears the same shirt (he wears it to school every day - it's possible that he takes it off, in which case he's wearing one of the two t-shirts he finds acceptable).

My DS does the same thing. When he was younger I bought 4 or 5 of the exact same shirts. He also picked the same fleece every time he outgrew one. He changed schools and we saw one of his old SACC teachers 2 years later and she said "oh my good, that fleece still fits him?" It wasn't the same one, it was a bigger one just like the one he wore two years before. Now my youngest DD refuses to give up her very tattered old high tops. I'm going to throw them out this weekend because I'm pretty sure someone at school will be suggesting pretty soon that there are resources for our family to get new shoes if we can't afford them. This is her second pair just like those, but we can't find an exact replacement. I don't get it, as I kid I was always happy for new and different stuff.
