Ten minutes later he emerged in full pharaoh regalia, a foam headdress with serpent on his head, a gold and bejeweled tunic hanging to his knees, lace-up sandals on his feet. In one hand he held a staff with a cobra at the top. “Wow,” my friend said, “that is fantastic.”

“Just a second,” Oliver said, pleased by the reaction, before disappearing and re-entering as Spider-Man, complete with a glove that makes web-shooting noises. Aside from the instant entertainment it provides, the costume fixation doubles as free child care. That night my friend and I were able to gossip up a storm, pausing only every so often to tell my son “Good one” each time he emerged as someone new. In these moments he looks to me only for praise, and to put the binder clip on the back of his cowboy holster so it fits properly.

Though it was his baby sitter who started this all, the “Project Runway” mentor Tim Gunn has also been an enabler. Tim and I have written a couple of books together, and “Uncle Tim” is a fixture in our home. They do talk clothes: one time when Tim came over, Oliver greeted him at the door, stared at him for a second, then ran to his room and came out wearing a matching blue-and-white seersucker jacket. At a book promotion in Minneapolis, Tim called Oliver to come on stage, but Oliver chose instead to spend his time complimenting the pretty Mall of America P.R. person: “Your necklace really completes the look,” he said.
