Dressing Up

Grace is starting to request what to wear in the morning. It makes for some interesting times and funny photos. When I mention getting dressed and going to daycare, she goes to her room, opens a drawer, pulls out some items, and decides what looks good. Sometimes I pull out some more and see what she will pick. Usually the one I suggest is not a good choice at all (dramatic head shakes). I sometimes let her wear what she wants, but sometimes her choice is just ridiculous -- you can't wear a bathing suit out to play!

On this particular morning she wanted to wear this dress...and the toque. I tried to get her to wear something different, but she wouldn't have it. So I put these things on her, and she appeared to be very satisfied. She sat there and soaked up the victory with this funny expression on her face. I eventually took the toque off, but she wore the dress to daycare.She chose this dress to wear out to a picnic one day. I had completely forgotten that I had bought it, so I was happy she found it.She has a thing with bibs now. She wants to put on as many as possible. Maybe she thinks they're fashion accessories. I'm not sure. But she'll whine until I keep putting them on her. Then she'll play like this, sometimes not being able to see her feet.Toddlers are strange people.
