Stylist in Training

I remember a few years back looking at all my old photos from growing up while I was trying to help my mom scrapbook our albums. In almost every picture where we are just playing around the house or on some trip somewhere (except the special occasions, Easter, Christmas), Sally and I are wearing the strangest outfits. Sally more than me!! But I just remember asking my mom why she dressed us like that. I am talking about mismatched, ugly outfits. Seriously. Why is Sally wearing pink and yellow plaid pants with a purple and blue floral print shirt and bright green sweater. I just couldn't understand why my mom dressed us like that. She always said that we dressed ourselves. But I just didn't understand. I thought, how hard is it to pick out an outfit for us and have us put it on. I am realizing now what my mom was talking about. Kaelyn is so into what she wears. I mean she even decides if she is going to have pig-tails, 1 pony, clips, or headband. I can't make her put on anything. I can try to persuade her a little, but she has a mind of her own. It can be freezing (you know 60 degrees!) and she will want to wear a tank top and skirt. I tell her that it is too cold to wear just that, so she will pick out tights and a sweater to match. Now luckily she hasn't got too crazy with her outfits like Sally did (She at least matches), but lately she has been known to change her outfit a couple times a day. Mostly into different Princess dresses, but sometimes I will go into her room after nap time and she is in a completely different outfit than she went to bed in. All I can do is just laugh. What can I say, maybe she will have a career in fashion or as a stylist.
