Chloe has discovered the joy of deciding what she wants to wear.
This means she might make a wardrobe change more than once a day–sometimes many times if I’m not paying attention! In particular she enjoys putting on her blue tutu outfit, which she’s suddenly extremely attached to for some reason. Even if it’s freezing cold outside, she still insists on wearing it (or another tutu outfit). Today we had a battle about needing to wear either long sleeves or pants–not a tank top and shorts! She finally settled on long sleeves with stretchy shorts and a tutu. She also had me change her barrette three times during the day (not as a part of her outfit changes mind you). It’s funny to watch her start to notice and care what she’s wearing.
Anyway, it reminds me of pictures of myself as a kid. I had a crazy sense of “style” and have pictures to back it up. I’ll have to look back in my scrapbook of me as a kid and scan some of those pictures…
In other news, I put away 7 baskets of laundry today. Seven! Bleh! In the craziness of the past couple of weeks, laundry has been pretty low on my priority list. I could tell it was getting bad when we were all scraping the bottom of our “cute clothes” and digging out obscure and ill-fitting stuff just because it was all that was left! Tomorrow we’ll have to many options we won’t know what to do with ourselves. 🙂
Ah, one of the minor frustrations of motherhood – the dressing herself, not the laundry. The laundry is a major frustration. But take heart – they eventually grow up and wash their own (and their childrens’, so it all equals out!) 🙂
I’m pretty sure that dressing herself isn’t so much a stage as much as it’s something she’ll do with varying success from now on….
