We have entered a brand new phase....I'll call it, ummm, BABY GIRL: MISS FASHIONISTA. Each morning, after we have had breakfast, we go to her room to pick out her clothes for the day. This has become an ordeal. Every single item of clothing must be thrown out of the drawer before deciding what to wear. Then, and only then, can we begin discussing it. And, I do mean, discussing it. I never thought that I would have to allot at least 20 minutes each morning for a 22-month old to decide what to wear. If I even dare make suggestions, then each one is quickly shot down and I know that there is no way that I am going to get her to wear that outfit. So, we wait...she picks a shirt. I ask, "Do you want to wear this today?" Normally the answer is, "No." Then, we go to dresses, I have to pull each one down so that she can study it and decide if there is one that is worthy of being worn. If no dress is chosen, then we go back to the pile of clothes in the floor to choose something from there. Eventually, an outfit is chosen...sometimes she chooses one piece and I get to match it...sometimes it's all Baby Girl.
Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way...getting to experience her learning what she likes and doesn't like...getting to watch her grown a little every day....this is wonderful!
