(In fact, one of my biggest pet peeves is adults who are still wearing sandals in November even though they've admitted on the top half of their body that it's simply not warm enough, by throwing on a parka. But Clio's not quite 2, so I guess I'll excuse her on this one.)We also recently found some excellent baby Esprit at Century 21 for tiny prices, but Clio categorically refuses to wear any of it. This morning I somehow managed to get her into one of the tops (white crinkled cotton with white embroidery and an intricate hem), AND a pair of pants (better for the playground), but as we were getting ready to head out to Zuzu's birthday party, a package arrived with all of Nonny's latest TJ Maxx conquests. (Many excellent items that should mean I don't need to take Clio summer shopping at all). Among the loot: a shirt and skirt set featuring none other than Clio's very favorite character, Dora. As I tried to show her each of the other lovely pieces in turn, Clio scooped up the lot of them, pushed them in my direction, said "Here, Mommy," and proceeded to put the Dora outfit on. Over her existing tank and pants. So we let her change into what will surely be the number one most requested outfit of all time.
And then we did go to the party, and here's what Clio and her new favorite outfit looked like when we got home: Quite a make-under, huh?
(To be honest, the full scope of the hot sweaty mess doesn't read in this picture, nor can you see too well the marker that is covering her hands, knees, and the backs of her thighs- she decided tha coloring was a full-body-contact sport - or the watermelon and strawberry juice coating her chin and neck. But you get the idea. Let's just say she had a good time!)
