I would like to offer the photographic evidence that my two year old daughter turned fourteen last week.
Example #1: Get that camera out of my FACE woman. I will not LOOK AT YOUUUUUU.
Example #2: I haaaaaate this shirt that YOU picked out for me. I hate it because YOUUUU picked it out. And now I will THROW it at you. STUPID SHIRT.
Example #3: And now, I will LAY here and you can't MAKE me get up. And I'm still not wearing that SHIRRRRRT. My eyes are red and puffy and it is ALL.YOUR.FAULT.MOTHER.
Okay, so I embellished the dialogue in Laura's honor. The actual incident went more like this:
NONONONONO I DON'T WIKE THAT SHIRT!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! NONONONONONO DON'T TOUCH ME! NOT THIS SHIRT I DON'T WANT THIIIIIIIS SHIRT! and so on, with much weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For an HOUR. Seriously. The girl's got stamina. And because I AM Mother of the Year, I laughed at her hysterically and enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate with the show.
And I know you might think, "Pick your battles, woman! Let her pick out her own clothes, if it's going to cause this much trouble! Nothing is worth an hour long temper tantrum!"
But then I'd have to just tell you what happens when my daughter is left to her own devices when it comes to fashion:
Um, is this the two year old's version of hot pants, knee boots, and half shirts? If so, we may be in for trouble.
And just to clarify, yes, those are her brother's underwear on her head. Gah.

I HOPE those are G's underoo's because if not, L has more fashion problems than that shirt!!
I love it!! How are ya feeling? (other than PREGNANT!!!???)
Oh, the things I have to look forward to. My 2 year old is now going through the "clip-clop" shoe stage along with wearing only fancy velvet dresses. Coats? NOOOOOO! Oh, how I feel your pain! (literally because my daughter is kicking and screaming when trying to be dressed by me)
My 2-year-old daughter dresses the same way if I don't step in! Do you just love the shorts and tank tops in the middle of winter??? And the underwear is just classic.
Oh yes, Margarita...those are Garrett's boxer briefs, 'wife beater' tank top, and undies. Only the pink boots belong to her. We keep HER clothes locked in the closet, lest she change them four million times a day, so she's resorted to getting into her bubba's clothes.
And for all who are wondering, here is how I feel: Cold, very tired, and BLECH. But not ALL the time, just now and then.
Well, this will definitely want to keep you screaming about groundings but my almost FOUR year old will still throw fits about it. I let her pick her own clothes out but I'm specific - "It's cold out so you need long pants" and I try to keep summer clothes out during the winter (DUH! Don't you have all that extra TIME to do that like the rest of us?? ROFL). But she will still have a 10 minute discussion, trying to get me to understand that capris ARE long pants when it's 15 degrees out. And then end up in tears when I put my foot down and make her change. But yes, many many times she's totally unmatched in public. Oh well...she might as well live it up now, right? She has her WHOLE ENTIRE life to worry about if her clothes look good and match her socks (geez, remember the 80's now??). ;)
Hmm, my daughter is 16 and we STILL have those stupid fights about it's too cold to wear crop tops and shorts.She has done this since forever. My other kids seemed to notice when it was hot or cold but not good ol Cady.In her favor I will say that she hasn't tried to wear her brothers underwear on her head in a few years.But it has been done.
Oh yes, I looove your pictures. Do you feel like I do when they are in the middle of a big trauma and you keep snapping pictures? Feels good huh?
Clothing is a constant battle in my house. And just recently started the "I'm going to change my clothes multiple times a day." Just to add to the laundry that I'm not doing since my washing machine is broken more than it is fixed.
LOL my daughter is the same way. Now I pick out two outfits and let her choose which one to wear, that seems to help sdome.
this is exactly like k is with skirts. ugh.
hot pants and snow boots - oh god.
Hopefully your daughter is just going thru a phase! My oldest started being opinionated about clothes around age 2. She refused to wear anything but dresses for about a year and even wanted to wear shoes to bed. She is now 5 and is still somewhat picky about what she'll wear.
But really Stacey, who DOESN'T enjoy wearing underwear on their head? :)
Ahhh, the joys of parenting little girls. It's neverending! LMAO at that post, cuz, I been there!
She is so cute! She reminds me of my neice Sophie; they are such "Drama Queens" at that age, lol.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Oh Lord, this was FUNNY.
Hahahahaha! (Laughing WITH you, of course!)
Two boys, not a single clothing scuffle yet. Now whether an F-16 is an F-16 or actually an F-14? Yes.
HaHaHahahahahaha!!!
What a nice sense of style she has....gotta love it!
Although my child doesn't really fight me on what he wants to wear v.s what I want him to wear, his snowboots have become an issue. He like to wear them with only his underoo's on.....reference my blog for that picture if you'd like!
Oh too cute! It reminds me when H wore the plastic feather dress up shoes to J's preview day and some lady w/ a stick up her butt made a totally ignorant comment. I told her look she has shoes on, who cares. I mean forgive me but we do live in the land of Oz and some would consider this a fashion statement, both in L's and H's case! E
I still have these battles with my almost 12 year old. Complete with tantrum and red puffy eyes. And all the 2yr old wants to wear is princess stuff. Drives me crazy.
ahahah, too cute, my daughter is only 19 months old and it get so easy to fit her in pink all the time. but i know there will come a time when she might have enough of it... for now, nevermind fussyness over fashion, she will take anything off if she can, i have to put overall if i want to make sure it will stay. my son is 3 and last year i had to put a lock on my underware drawer cause he'd ware as many underware as possible around his neck and a bra on his head. i was conforted by an other mom who told me at least they were clean, her daughter would ware her dirty ones... i don't have plan to fight the eccentricity when it arise, just provide modesty and weather adjustment, maybe just as unconformistic. they will have to deal with the consequence of facing the society with their odd taste hehe... sometime feeling foolish once is better then having eternal confrontation over what's "propper"
