Kurt made me promise that I wouldn’t blame him for the way Sophia was dressed since I told him to let her choose what she wanted to wear, so I won’t. It’s really my fault. I told him to let her choose her own clothes. I assumed that any normal human being would know that they need to select either the top or the bottom themselves and then give the toddler two or three choices of the other that are known to match. Kurt didn’t do that. He laid out three random bottoms and three random tops. I have pictures of the results. Please be warned that they my burn your eyes.
Sophia was oddly hyper that day (2/8/10). It may have been due to the bright color selection or it’s also possible that her selection was a reflection of her mood. I had such a hard time getting a good shot of her that I started running up and down the stairs hoping that would slow her down enough for me to focus on her. I put her hair up in a ponytail and wanted pictures of that, so Kurt tried to help me by holding her, and upside-down. Then she ran in and out of her room giggling as Kurt chased her. He finally caught the elusive toddler again to complete her look for the day. Those are dress shoes he’s putting on her, with socks, she insisted.
Yes, she actually went out in public looking like that. We aren’t cruel. It was her choice.
She’s looking very free-range there, isn’t she? Ohmigosh, I can’t believe she’s only 2-1/2! How can she be so tall and mature looking? You’re right. She might be towering over me by the time I get there next month. *afraid*
smarmoofus – Yeah she’s always rather free-range. I’m tellin’ you! She’s going to pass you up by the time she’s four or five. You wear 5T, right?
*runs away*
Very, very funny. Wait until she wants to wear a princess outfit year round. I’ve seen parents trying to pretend they aren’t embarrassed by it, LOL. Sophia still looks a lot like Chloe.
She’s Chloe’s white twin 
Susan – She already wants to wear an orange sweater she has all the time. It that is dirty they she insists on the orange pants. I wonder if she likes orange because it’s my favorite color and I uumm seem to wear a lot of it or if she just naturally likes it.
