Day 37: "Rare Moments"

A rare moment indeed.

The 2.5 age is upon us, and that comes with hitting, arguing, and just plain "hating" each others guts. (I don't think they hate each other, they can barely be separated for a short time, but you know what I mean.) Today I came home from dropping Emmalee to school and they were sitting here, didn't even move to come greet me, as they usually do, just kept playing and talking to each other. A priceless moment.

Another rare moment.

Why is this so moment so rare, you ask?? Well we see Papa at least 3 days a week, so it's not that. Lyla loves him to death, so it's not that she's on his lap. They're both happy individuals, so it's not the smiles. See what Lyla is wearing???????? A shirt!!!!! Not zipped up fleece pajamas, on backwards, but a real, adorable shirt dress, and even has pants on too! She kept it on for like an hour, then I left to bring Emmalee to school and Papa said he had to redress her 4 times. She just always wants to be naked...I don't get it! It's chilly! My remedy has been to dress her in zip up fleece jammies and then recently she learned to unzip, so we turn them backwards, and she can't get to the zipper! (She's tried to wiggle her way out the neck, with no luck, YET!) I think I need to let go of the control over this and let her be free!!! What do you think? We're just home, when the therapists come she can be in jammies, she has to for naps anyways b/c she'll strip completely down in bed, we've learned that the hard way.
