Brooke has some petty strong opinions about almost everything. I've been fortunate in that, while she also has many opinions on what she wants to wear, she has accepted the outfits I pick for her without protest. At least, she used to.
Recently she's been using a stool to get to the top if her closet, where the summer and fancy dresses hang. She has rejected the simple, comfortable outfit (and shoes!) I've picked for her and insisted on wearing long, frilly dresses with sparky dress shoes.
Not only are her choices not appropriate for the weather, but they're not exactly conducive to preschool life either. Additionally, this new battle is taking up a chunk of time in the am ... A chunk of time (with a habitually late to school arriva) we just don't have.
After 4.5 years, I still find myself surprised as the power of her inner diva.
