"I think this belongs to your baby". I looked in the cab and there she was, naked as the day she was born. I looked back and there was a trail of her clothes. <br /><br />When she was 2, EVERY. DAY. at 4 was naked time. No matter where, no matter what. I checked my watch and sure enough, it was 4.<br />After that, I learned to have any public appearances done by the magic 'naked' hour.<br /><br />I had a mom in preschool ask me what I did about the problem of my child wanting to dress herself - as I watched miss pattern mixed with pattern (stripes two different ways with orange socks and purple shoes) walk away, I looked at her and said, "Not a problem. One less thing for me to do. If you think I put that together (pointing at miss stripes and stripes)I want what you have in the morning."<br /><br />Most of the time I just assume a kid either tossed it off or a parent carefully chose their battles.<br /><br />You are doing awesome.
