This morning at 7:00 am, the showdown began. The three year old gunslinger pulled her favorite pair of striped tights from the underwear drawer and declared, "I'm wearing a dress and tights!". Down the hallway, the worthy opponent, MOM, drawled back, "You can wear that there dress, but the tights have to go!". What ensued was not pretty. In the end, after a poptart and milk, the three year old conceded defeat and said, "I'll wear the leggin's, but I'll look weird!". Mom compromised and said the tights can go on after preschool - and they did!
What the heck! Why am I Fighting with a toddler about her clothes! I know I should have picked my battle better this morning but tights are hard to manipulate at potty time in school and for crying out loud - they totally didn't match - not that coordinating an outfit ever stopped dear Lydia from being a fashion icon! She's definitely going to be interesting to watch as she grows up!
