Getting Dressed
TwinkleToes is able to dress herself in some types of clothes now. On days when she is capable of handling her clothes I lay them out for her and leave her to it. She loves coming to me and showing me that she did it “all by self”.
This morning she walked in with her shirt on backwards. I pointed it out to her and she stomped her foot and said “No I dint, the tah boes…. oh.” (Translation: No, I didn’t, the tag goes… oh.”
As she was talking she pulled her shirt out to look and as she saw the tag she realized I was right, which is why she stopped and ended with “oh”.
Poor baby. She walked back into her room and returned a few minutes later with it on the right way, the look in her eyes clearly telling me she didn’t want to talk about it. I wisely kept my mouth shut about it and just handed over her toothbrush with the toothpaste already on it.
Fast forward forty five minutes: She puts her shoes on once we are downstairs. Her little athletic shoes have velcro closures so she can do those by herself now, too. But it was RK that pointed out to her that her shoes were on the wrong feet. He completely didn’t understand why she burst into tears once she realized he was right.
I hope the rest of her day goes better.
