Jilly has been on a "I can do it myself" kick for quite awhile now, especially when it comes to getting dressed and picking he rown clothes out. I didn't care, independence is a good thing, but after a few months of her wearing things like pink shorts with a green and blue checkered shirt, I got sick of the looks from mothers, the looks that said "you can't even dress your kid". So I decided to do something about it, while letting her keep her independence, I explained to her that when you pick out clothes you want to try and pick shirts and shorts that are the same color. I didn't expect that it would turn on me and now she can only wear shirts and shorts that are exactly the same color. So I went with it, but then one day I was trying to get her to put on a white shirt with bluejean shorts, she refused saying they didn't match, so I said white matches everything. A week or so later she picks out a white shirt and shorts and teal green socks up to her knees. I laughed and said they don't match, her reply "remember dad, you said white matches everything" :-#
