Parent PSA: Daycare Is Not A Fashion Show!
Really, does a two year old need "fashionable" boots? NO! She needs FUNCTIONAL boots! Preferably ones she can get on herself because she is strongly in the "Do it MYSELF!" phase that you are, for whatever strange reason, actively trying to squelch. Your *POTTY TRAINING* two year old also does not need to wear that fancy tutu-esque skirt, and tights, and a onesie. Nor does she need pants with a belt that she can't manage on her own. Nor does she need those darn fashionable boots, or fashionable shoes.
She needs clothes she can manage on her own. She wants to do her shoes herself...let her do them herself and give her shoes she can do herself. YOU want her to potty train...give her clothes she can manage on her own. /rant. |
Amen to that!

OMG, this drives me nuts! I tell parents all the time that we get dirty! We play outside, we fingerpaint, we use glue. Do not send them in nice clothes.
It never fails that when parents send little Suzie in her nice new fancy clothes, I have fingerpainting and Spaghetti lunch planned for the day. ALSO, send them in clothes that FIT! :mad: I have a 2 1/2 year old that consistantly comes in 2T clothes that are too small. I can barely pull the pants up they are so tight, and the shirt doesnt even cover her belly! |
I really hate belts when its time to use the rest room..... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I had a dropin last week in skinny jeans and knee high zip up boots. She's 2.5, "potty training" and could dress herself if she had clothes that don't require a degree to get on and off. *sigh* Even she hates the boots. lol

I just looked at her and said "REALLY mom"" "REALLY" we laughed and it never happened again.. |
So the mud pie war is out of the question?

we had a mud pie pool this past summer... OMG was it soooo much fun.... The kids loved loved loved every last second of it....Of course it was super hot out and everyone was hosed off after it was over....
