Today is "Wacky Wednesday", a day many kids embrace relish. Unfortunately, a Type A personality kid seems to find it more threatening than thrilling :)
Brooke talked nonstop leading up to "Wacky Wednesday" about what she wanted to do. She was going to wear her shirt backwards and mis-matched shoes. When the day came, she became apprehensive. I convinced her to wear an unmatching outfit, but she wouldn't stray from appropriate wear of each item (no backward or inside-out shirt, no shorts over pants, etc). She refused to do anything atypical with her hair, but decided to wear a crown (which isn't so wacky, because she wears princess items daily at home).
When it came time to put on her shoes, she grabbed two matching flats. I reminded her she was going to mix them up and she said she changed her mind. I eventually got her to mismatch by putting the matching shoes for both pairs into her backpack.
Here she is, as wacky as she would allow herself to be!
(She came home wearing matching shoes ... not sure how long she had her "wacky" pair on)
