A mother needs to choose when it is important to take a stand. As a mother of four-n-more, it is important for me to pick my battles. One of these "battles" is what the kids wear.
Savanah is very particular about what she wears. I tried so warn her about wearing a princess gown to the playground. She wouldn't listen and soon found it was difficult to swing, slide, and climb in the equivalent of a 4-year-old's prom dress. Maybe next time she'll listen to me (I doubt it).
Gone are the days when the boys wore what I picked out for them. Esteban wanted to wear some wore-the-day-before-grass-stained-pants to school. AJ wears a red & blue striped shirt with his camouflage pants. It wasn't until Ethan wanted to wear this shirt that I took my stand.

Something about the way the whole he ripped in his shirt frames his bellybutton. The battle line was drawn and I prevailed. The shirt was thrown away. I have won another battle for today. I'm sure there will be a new battle tomorrow about something else. AHHHH, the joys of motherhood.
