Pants all day!

Almost forgot to add this BIG event. Julia wore pants on Saturday!

Julia has a weekly swimming lesson on Saturday mornings. She really likes putting her bathing suit on Saturday morning when she gets dressed and putting her clothes on top, and it is quicker getting her into the pool when we get to the Y when I just have to take off clothes. This Saturday I got out her blue stretch pants that she has been using as heavy tights and a sweatshirt. Initially, I forgot to bring down one of her dresses to put on top of the tights and beneath the sweatshirt, and then I saw the possibility. We put on her bathing suit and the stretch pants and sweat shirt and socks and shoes. Voila! Wearing pants for the first time!!! Julia happily changed into underwear and pants and sweatshirt after swimming and stayed like that all day.

Now, do I dare buy her a pair of jeans?

Funny, we have the opposite - a daughter who will never wear skirts or dresses and shys away from the color pink. If she had it her way she would stick to black and white :)

Jeanne -- well, you have the fashionable kiddo! At my college, one of the tee shirts still say "Even the squirrels wear black." I, who have no fashion sense at all, prefer black. Everything goes together and there are not embarassing fashion mistakes. Julia makes no fashion mistakes!! LOL
