(Check out my boots!)
Cassidy is becoming quite opinionated about her clothes and accessories. She decides what shoes she will wear (boots on most days when I can't manage to talk her out of them), how many pony tails she'll have in her hair, and which hair clips she'll wear WITH her pony tails and on which side to put them. She likes to check things out in the mirror when I've finished her hair and show off her boots whenever she wears them. This of course goes right along with our "Love and Logic" parenting which allows Cassidy to makes decisions whenever possible. (Thanks for the tip on those books, C & E! Love them!)
I still pick out her clothes, though she does veto my decision from time to time. If it were completely up to her, she would wear her Saints or Vikings Cheerleader outfits, or her pink Saints jersey every day.
Luckily, she seems to understand and accept reasonable explanations for why she can't wear them on some days (most often because they are in the wash - and admittedly sometimes because they are hidden in her dresser where she can't find them).
I can see the time quickly approaching when we'll have to redo her closet so she can get to her own clothes ... right now, everything is hanging at adult height.
When we drive through the neighborhood and she sees the Fleur De Lis Flags flying in front of houses, she says "Doh Ains" ("Go Saints").
