The other day I posted a little story about Big Sis and all the gut-wrenching, heart-tugging drama that went along with a little outfit I made her wear.
Fast forward a couple of weeks, when, as we speak, Baby Sis is upstairs screaming her lungs bloody, because I dared zip her into some fleecy, footy pajamas. SIDE NOTE: A COLD FRONT is coming in tonight, and its supposed to get down to 47 degrees. My house is a drafty old relic built in 1928. When its 47 outside, its 46 degrees inside. Those are the Laws of the Old House that Changeth Not, and if you’ve ever lived in a drafty old relic of a house, you KNOW its the truth. So, those fleecy, footy pajamas…..its just that time of year when those things are a necessity when you’re a TWO YEAR OLD WHO KICKS THE COVERS OFF.
So, Baby A screams. I’ve envisioned my neighbors on both sides hearing the screams and teaming up to alert Child Protective Services. Probably taking turns dialing up that 1-800 number, because my two-year-old is upstairs screaming, “I WANT IT OFF!!!! I WANT IT OFF!!!!!!!!!.”
And I’m just sitting here wondering, is this a girl thing??? Do moms of boys have all this drama over their wardrobe????? I’m a little envious of those moms who can throw on a Lightening McQueen t-shirt from Wal Mart and a pair of denim shorts on their kid, and never hear a peep about it. Is this a ‘girl’ thing…….a ‘sinful nature’, rebellion thing……..
(…Or is this my fault?)
Don’t be too honest now. 😉
Because I’m sort of having a moment…..an ever-so-brief, fleeting moment…..of insanity…..when I’m sort of wishing I could experience what its like to have a boy.
It’s a girl thing……..and just wait, baby A will be telling you how she wants her hair soon. I had to just laugh this morning because my little darling wanted braids all over her head, with a head band, and two clips *not placed in the traditional spots. We have melt downs just about every day b/c things HAVE to be FASHION, pink and sparkley!!! I have to make my Kindergartener tone down the "
Stephanie’s son, Ryder, is JUST as finicky! We both pull our hair out when dealing with our 3 year olds. Nothing is easy. Absolutely nothing is easy with my youngest, Jules. <BR/><BR/>Mia, she is easy breezy. Never a problem. Angel child sent from above. <BR/><BR/>I, too, am feeling a little insane. It’s so frustrating. You have to keep telling yourself…I’M the momma! I know what’s
Stopped by from Prairie Woman. I have two boys. The first one will wear whatever you put out for him. The second is a constant battle. Has to be just right. If going to work with Dad – a plain white t-shirt, tucked in, jeans, belt with pliers pouch, and work boots. Church must have cowboy boots and a shirt that buttons. School must be clothes for playing soccer. Season changes are a
In my case it’s a girl thing. Blake has never cared what he put on, nor what his hair looks like. Mallory, on the other hand…. oh, my…glad she was second.
LOL. I had Blake in mind when I was typing this….I was thinking to myself "I bet BLAKE isn’t screaming bloody murder over what pajamas he has to sleep in…"<BR/><BR/>We’ve already had some drama this morning, over the outfit I’m making her wear to Kids’ Kaleidoscope, with lots of screaming and falling on the floor involved. OF COURSE she didn’t want to wear what I chose; she wanted to wear
Yeah, as a mom of 4 boys – they just don’t care that much. Still, I wish I had just one girl to play with 🙂
I have 2 boys and one girl. she is the youngest. She went through this stage where she changed her clothes about every hour! Or she would just strip down to nothing but her panties. She likes pretty frilly dresses, she likes to look like a princess, but then she’ll come back inside and be covered from head to toe in mud, or dirt. And then there are times she comes back to the door in nothing
