Who LOVES clothes?!

Today we are going to talk about Delaney and her obsession with clothes. The kid LOVES to change her clothes. And now she has an opinion on what she wears, so it can be a trial to get her ready to go in the morning if she can't find something SHE likes and wants to wear. I wanted to document her fixation, and even more so, her multiple changes during the day.

This is her first outfit of the day. She is wearing Callie's Jammies, that Callie has barely outgrown and Delaney barely fits into. Delaney loves them. They are one of her favorite things to wear. I think she like the pink. She is showing her belly for some reason.


Then she spots her most favorite outfit and off come the jammies. She, of course will not immediately put on the clothes, she must wander around naked for a while, and drag the outfit with her. You can see the flowery pink pants behind her.

Ahhhh, finally she has put it in and I have helped with her "butties", (as she calls the buttons). She adores this outfit. It is size 24 months and is getting a bit small. I love it because I always know I can get her dressed if I have this in hand.

Uh-oh, she saw Marian's jumper from Sunday and had to put it on!



Well, everyone knows the zipper HAS to go in front! How else could she get it on?!

After her nap, Delaney saw Callie's spare clothes which I had just brought in from the car. She just HAD to put them on.... even the Dora underpants!

And she did it all by herself! She does NOT want help when she is dressing.

And then, its Off With the Clothes and they get heaped in a pile on the floor. Note that she has also become angry about something and pulled out her pony-tails.

And she is back into PJs. These are a 24 month size and you can see they are a bit snug. She had a little trouble getting them over her diaper. No worries, they won't last long!

Nope, it was back to the Jumper. She likes dresses a lot now. She likes to put on a "cuke dess" these days if she can find one. Watch her zip this up all by herself. I told you she liked to do it without assistance.

And she did it.
Its nearly bedtime, so she'll need to put on something else for bed.
Dan had to go off to YM that night, so I got to put the kids to bed by myself. That's why I didn't get a picture of Delaney in her last outfit of the day. I was busy and she was probably uncooperative till the last minute. Still, I think the rest of the pictures demonstrate the proper level of her obsession with clothing!

Oh that is funny. I thought my kids where bad, but nope Delaney is by far worse. So where did you get the girly girl??? Drew can't undress or dress himself, well maybe he has no interest really. So cute.

That is too funny. You know when she gets older she will be the one with a closet full of cloths and none to wear.

Two year olds are so funny. I'm glad she keeps you laughing, heaven knows you need to remember all the cute things when she's in her destuctive mode:)

hilarious! I haven't had a child with those obsessions. The closest I get is that Tucker thinks he shouldn't have to wear a shirt when doing exercises or karate, or a few other activities that shirts restrict.=)
I still tell him to put one on and it inevitable gets put on inside out and backwards.
