We have all been here right?
The place where you are still trying to hold onto your little one and make decisions for her even though she thinks she knows what is best?
Well, that is where we are.
Marie is insisting on ONLY wearing her Dora pajamas to bed at night, she doesn't like her legs to be showing at night so she puts on any random pajama pants she can find and then asks for socks so she can put them OVER her pants to keep her pant legs from crawling up.
IF they crawl up...all heck will break loose and we will hear about it.
She has also been wearing a necklace and/or silly band bracelets to bed along with the hair tie of her choosing.
Are we giving in?
Yes, it's a battle we are not fighting.
As our parents have reminded us - choose your battles.
I think it shows great creativity and yes, independence, but it does drive us a little insane.
This little girl of ours is on the toddler roller coaster.
You know, the one where one minute she is the happiest, sweetest, funniest little thing and then 1.5 seconds later a tantrum full of screaming, kicking, and jerking around on the floor is occurring and you don't know how it started or why it is happening but you hope it will end just as quickly as it started.
So, that is why we are choosing our battles wisely and not fighting the whole Dora pajama fiasco at night.
Instead, we are asking, "what color socks tonight, Marie?"
