scrapes and leotards

t

i took this photos to show greta's unique clothing choices of late. greta is able to get dressed (and undressed) with minimal help from us. she seems to enjoy practicing these skills and likes to change her clothes a few times a day. she will make up an excuse like, "these clothes are wet" or "these have pee and poo on them" so that she can change. i don't mind a bit...the educator in me loves that she is obviously driven to hone these skills. the mom in me appreciates that she can get ready independently. but i am struggling with ACCEPTING her clothes choices....some of the ensembles she comes up with are pretty fantastic. like this day....her hot cocoa shirt on a 60 degree day, blue leggings a few sizes too small, and her gymnastics leotard pulled halfway up. love it.
oh....i forgot to mention the scrape on her nose. that's her latest accessory. she went for her first bike ride of the season and i guess took a little spill. just in time for all our vacation and easter photos. :)
