Covet thine own child’s wardrobe.
And I don’t, except for when I do…
I love helping get Millie dressed in the morning. I have been trying to figure out why it brings me such pleasure. I think it is a creative act and that is what makes it such fun. I stand at the closet and try to figure out which combination would work together. Like a living puzzle with infinite possibilities. The challenge is that I get one shot at it. I can’t ask Millie to try on a bazillion different combos. Ya know? So it is the creative endeavor with the added challenge of figuring it out fast and getting it right the first time.
I think most of the time I hit the target. I may be the worst judge of my own efforts but I think she looks pretty dang cute most of the time. There was something special about her in this crazy polka dot number, something extra special, that even attracted her dad’s attention. He was the one who insisted on capturing this particular ensemble on film.
I’m glad he did.
I think this outfit matches her energy and her general ZIP.
“May all your days be polka-dotty and striped.”

Go ahead, sign me up. Put me on the very long list of Millie’s clothes coveters. Guilty!

And for all of us who aren’t so gifted at dressing our daughters, would you care to reveal the origin of the spunky polka dot dress?

There is no shame in wanting Millie’s wardrobe. I know I do.
