Teach them how to button...

I must admit...having a daughter is like the adult version of playing dress up with your dolls. After her morning nap, we stand in front of her closet or stare into her drawers...looking for the perfect outfit that will meet our needs for the day. Lazy days require lazy soft cotton clothes, afternoons at the park require warm layered looks and an afternoon shopping requires the perfect pair of shoes :) You need to offer your child choices so that they gain a sense of independance. Most mornings...I find Maryn like this...standing at her dresser...debating denim vs. cotton nylon stretch???


Dig deep girl, dig deep!


On this particular morning...she kept complaining about a cool breeze in her room...


...she had a lesson on buttoning.


and then we practiced crawling...
...she's almost there!
