I have to let you know that in our battles with Sydnie, I am seeing progress...at least in one in particular. The weather today was beautiful. Sunny and warm. As always for school days, I picked out a couple of outfits for Sydnie to choose what she wanted to wear. I find this is the only way to get her to wear something other than play clothes. Anyway, today, since the temperature was forecasted to be in the 80s, I picked out 3 different skort outfits. (skirts with shorts connected underneath). She picked one, with only a little discussion and NO argument...what a happy beginning to the day. This afternoon as she was playing in her room, I went in to put something away, and she said, "I like wearing skorts. They really aren't so bad." I could have fainted. To most, this seems very silly and we must have quite a boring life if I must blog the day we wear a skort willingly. However, such is not the case, at least not in our lives. Since Sydnie was 2 she has been VERY opinionated regarding the clothing she would and would not wear. She went through a period of wearing skirts, dresses and skorts, and then it all came to a stop...until today. Dresses are still not high on the list, but the battles have proven to work. The war is not lost in the clothing department. Not yet, anyway :)
Food for thought: As you look in your closet tomorrow morning, think carefully what you pick out. I can guarantee there will be a little person somewhere who will ask her Mom, "If she can wear it, why can't I?"
Here are 'snapshots' from the Covington family. Some may be routine events, others may be from special events, others may be totally out of the blue. Whatever the event, we hope you enjoy.

Western Wear Day
Today was Sydnie's "Western Wear Day" at preschool. I actually think it was 'Western Day' but she added wear, since everyone was to wear western clothes. It makes sense. She was soooo excited about it, she woke up at 6:15 and every time I directed her in completing tasks, she said, "I can't, Mom. I'll be late for school." We did leave a little earlier and she had a fun day. They learned to bow and curtsy in PE, I am guessing for the square dances. Can you picture 4-year-olds trying to do a square dance??? I bet it was cute! Anyway, I have a couple of pictures of her decked in her western wear...thanks Nana and Aunt Stephie for the box of clothes which had the perfect shirt for the day!!
