I think I've mentioned before that Anya is all about comfort. For a loooooong time, it was impossible to keep clothes on her. Finally, that passed and she switched to "comfy clothes" or jammies. She's still in this phase, so all she'll wear out of the house are soft pants like sweats or skirts with tights. Forget jeans- too rough and the buttons pinch her (insert eye-roll here). The second we walk through the door, she changes from these clothes into jammies- no matter what time of day it is. She will take a break from the jammies to play dress-up, but as soon as that's over, it's back to jammies.
The newest phase is her obsession with the seams of her socks or tights. She HATES when they get under or at the tips of her toes. This seriously interferes with our morning routine since George or I have to spend some time adjusting her socks accordingly. This morning was particularly rough since she insisted on wearing a specific skirt and top with her princess boots. Because these boots are padded inside, she refuses to wear socks or tights, which was the start of the battle. When she realized she was going to lose that one, she put on a pair of tights and of course the seams bothered her. After a few adjustments, it was clear that these ones wouldn't do, so I offered her another pair Once again, no dice......and the tantrum began. By now it was time to get packed and into the car, but she was in a tizzy. Somehow, George managed to get her to agree to one of the 3 pairs of socks I offered and we were off. Boy howdy can mornings be rough with a 4 year old drama queen!!!
