Twirling Update

It's all about the twirl, remember? Each day's outfit is chosen based on its twirl-factor. Lilly's pink petticoat wins the gold medal for twirling, but her Christmas dress takes a close second. So, as you can imagine, she asks to wear her Christmas dress every morning. At first I always said "No." It's March, why would any mother in their right mind let their child wear their Christmas dress?  But then I lightened up- why not? If she wants to wear her Christmas dress, so be it. And so Lilly is now happy- she's able to wear her Christmas dress to school, to church, to childcare, to nap, to play in the yard and just out and about. To her it's not about the red and green, it's all about the twirl. She seldom wears pants anymore... skirts, dresses and if it's cold out, leggings or tights under the dresses.  If she's wearing her sleeper pajamas or jeans she will spin around and then comment with a frown, "these don't twirl." We took the girls to get a haircut on Sunday and of course Lilly wore her Christmas dress. She let me snap a few photos when we got home...

We will be wearing the Christmas dress as long as our Twirly Girl asks to wear it... or until some new summery twirly skirts are added to the wardrobe. :) Lilly is one happy twirler.
