Rainbow dress

I've heard from lots of friends that their girls often become very particular as to what they want to wear. It's been slowly creeping into our house for sure and Isobel has always been particular about what she does NOT want to wear. I will often have to take shirts or dress off to let her choose a new one. She has never wanted to wear socks, and often insists on wearing her black dress shoes to play in the dirt. I have to say that none of this really bothers me, i dont' insist she matches and i just tend to hide outfits that only work as dressy cloths. But the arrival of the rainbow dress has been interesting to say the least. I picked it up at Ham Me Downs Hammedowns a few weeks ago and put it in her closet. She noticed it one night while trying to keep her self awake at bedtime (part my fault for leaving the closet door open). she wanted to put it  on, so i changed her out of her pjs, put it on her and she fell asleep. Since then she has worn it at least every other day, i have to hang it in the bathroom to dry in the night, just to have it ready  for the morning or end up pulling it off the line at bedtime so she can sleep in it. Lucky for her we have laundry everyday...hope it doesn't wear out by the end of the summer. Keep thinking I'll have to reinvent it like Josephs father in Something From Nothing, Phoebe Gilman sure knew kids!
