Oh, What a Beautiful Morning...

Emma on the first day of school in her ladybug costume.


Emma is a very independent, opinionated, strong-willed 3-year-old who, for the past year, has claimed that she is six. She does not believe that she is too young to make her own decisions, especially when it comes to what she wears. Most of the time I allow her to wear what she wants (pick your battles) albeit I reserve the right to veto some of her clothing choices. However, even with the amount of wardrobe control she is allowed, getting dressed in the morning can still be rather traumatic if what she wants is not clean, doesn't fit right (she's very picky about that) or is inappropriate for the weather. This morning she wanted to wear shorts even though it is in the 40's and we are going to be driving into the mountains of New Hampshire where it is even colder. Fit #1 for the day! I just left her alone and she eventually came out dressed appropriately, although she is wearing her snowboots!
