Agnes was not interested in getting dressed this a.m. I said, "Let's get dressed." And she said "no."
So then I said, "Let's go pick out a cute dress and some leggings." And she said, "Okay!" And raced downstairs to her closet!
She is a charmer - and her mother's daughter. I just hope she gives Phoebe a little of the grief Phoebe always gave me about her clothes - I mean, that only seems fair, doesn't it?
Bonny was very picky - starting with age 3 - but she seems to have worked things out with her girls and there do not seem to be too many battles.
Eliza had real preferences but they all seemed to have to do with comfort. And I can't really fault her for that. And actually, that may have been Bonny and Phoebe's issue too. I wasn't quite as "aware" then.
Now Hannah, she'd wear whatever I suggested - and she'd let me fix her hair too.
I am talking here about the "early" years - pre-1st grade maybe - by the way!!
Henry and Calvin, though they are handsome, well-dressed young men, don't seem to give hoot about what they wear. Although Calvin had some issues about his swimming trunks today - but I think that had more to do with not wanting to wear something that was still wet!
And speaking of males and clothing - and women too for that matter - when I get home and post pics, remind me to tell you Dad's fashion story for this race - it's pretty hilare!!

It's all about looking GOOD! LOL
Agnes is very cute in all her pictures. I'm sure her personality is just as sweet.
McKay was my dress child also. I soon realized it was because I would say "Let's go get dressed" that that was why she always had to wear a dress. Luckily now, my kids wear almost anything. I've been blessed.
i have no idea why i don't have battles with my girls. but they are only required to wear what i dictate 4 times a year: sunday before christmas, easter sunday, mother's day and one random day (for weddings, etc.) other than that, they can choose their own clothing.
I think that is your secret!!
It wasn't about comfort for me as a child-it was about what I liked and didn't like, whether it was comfortable or not.
I am sure Agnes will give me grief about her clothes. That is why I am enjoying this time so much!
I think that was Phoebe posting - it wasn't me!
