getting dressed

i love watching emma choose her clothes and get herself dressed in the morning. she chooses panties for the pictures on them (today they are flowers, and pink) and a top and bottom based on weather or not they "are a match". she turns the shirt around several times, then pulls it on her head, pulling pulling to get it over her bump of a nose. them one arm goes in and the other goes in. same routine with her bottoms, today a skirt with sewn in shorts. several turns to get the front in the front and the back in the back, then one leg in, and then the other, and she stands up knees together to pull it up. some days there is a snap or a button that i need to do for her, but because it is summer, that doesnt happen much lately.

i love watching her little brain figure out all the different movements her body needs to make to get into her clothes the right way. i love that she takes after her daddy and always put her clothes on in the same order every time: panties, top, bottom.

its like watching moon plants bloom, watching her learn.
