Brayden has hit that stage where she wants to dress herself. The dressing herself part I love. It's the picking out the clothes herself that sometimes I'm not always thrilled about. However, the other day, after nap time, we had to go to the store, and it was quite a relief that all I had to say was, "go pick out something to wear so we can go to the store" (since by this time of the day, the first outfit she has already worn has been completely removed once we get through lunch and potty going), and she was ready in three minutes flat. I loved that. I think I can get used to giving up some control on the way she looks if that means avoiding the sometimes stressed out, running away from me, threatening time-out, dramatic episodes we have gone through in the past to get ready to go somewhere.
She started out not doing too bad....she even got compliments on this cute little petticoat.

People understand when a kid looks unmatched.
Oh yes, we know this stage well as Brooke is still in it. She has free reign with her pj's and comes up with some pretty creative stuff!
Isn't it cool to have mismatched patterns? It always seems to work when a famous designer does it, but when a pre-schooler does, people feel the need to explain. You hold your head high and keep in mind that your daughter, if not following the trends, is making them for the next fashion magazine to make millions off of!
That is too funny!! I dread the day Mikayla wants to pick out her own clothes, because I can already tell she's a stubborn one!
