So Fashion

When Emma was little she came to me once all dressed up and cute and said, “Mommy, I’m so fashion!”  I loved the phrase and still use it with the kids.  Sabrina has taken to changing her outfits multiple times a day, mostly revolving around (of all things) her favorite pajamas. She has a “snail shirt” and “stripey pants” that she thinks she should be able to wear anywhere.  A couple of weeks ago she brought them with her into the church nursery because we wouldn’t let her wear them and compromised on letting her hold them if she put on a dress. It wasn’t long ago that she would refuse to wear anything but a flower dress, so maybe next will be jeans and a t-shirt. Here are her outfit changes from today:

Outfit #1 Snail Shirt and Red Skirt

Outfit #2 Purple Swimsuit and Stripey Pants

Outfit #3 Snail Shirt and Stripey Pants

Outfit #4 Flower Dress

Outfit #5 Blue Flower Dress

Outfit #6 Snail Shirt and Stripey Pants

And finally, it was bedtime!  She happened to have on the pajamas at the right time!  Wish me luck tomorrow as I pry them off of her and throw them in the washer.  She will follow me around saying, “my snail shirt clean Mommy? My stripey pants clean Mommy?” until they make it through the dryer.

    Annie does the same thing, and it drives me crazy. Especially since her favorite thing to wear is her swimsuit (luckily the shorts/shirt kind). I just can’t keep up with her outfit changes most days, and she usually gets her way concerning what she wears. I assume most parents understand that if a little kid has on a crazy outfit, it’s probably because they dressed themselves.

    I don’t know how Liv came up with it, but in our house “Fashion” means soap bubbles in the bath tub.
    I love how you let her take her jammies to church.

    I’m with Heidi, I totally love that you let her take her jammies to church, how cute is that! I just can’t get over how much she has changed and grown since we last saw you, in my mind she is still a little baby. I love all of her fashion choices, and I think it’s all so cute!
