I stopped fighting the clothing battle with my girls loooong ago. I remember when they were babies and I could dress them up in whatever cute and matchy outfit I wanted. Both of them developed strong opinions about what they wear at early ages. But hey, I like to let them express themselves creatively....... okay, I am just happy they can do it themselves! And they are simply adorable no matter what they are wearing! Here is a list of their opinions right now, I thought it would be fun to look back on:Sophie - insists upon a skirt if at all possible, with the cold winter here she willl wear pants to school. But they CANNOT be AT ALL tight. I bought several pairs of cute jeans for her at the beginning of the school year and they are ALL in her drawer, unworn. She wears what we call "comfy pants" (sweat pants or yoga-ish pants) and I'm thankful for that! She is also very picky about the fabric of her tops (can't be too itchy!), any type of elastic around the sleeves, neck or waist (can't be tight!) and any embroidery or design on the shirt can't be felt on the inside (again -too itchy!) Needless to say I rarely buy her stuff unless she tries it on! The instant (like the same time as her coat and shoes!) she walks in the door from school her pants are off and she is in a skirt!
Nora - not as picky as Sophie but she has a few things that she loves and will get upset if they are not available. She would be happy to stay in her footy pajamas all day long.... and sometimes she does! She loves to wear anything purple and if I want her in something else I have to convince her (like, "Oh - I bet Naunie would LOVE this shirt", or ,"I can't wait to see what daddy thinks of these really cool pants!")
I love these two silly girls! They make our home light up.
