A mind of her own

Outfit I chose for my five-year-old to wear to school today: a turtleneck shirt with bright primary-colored ladybugs and pants in one of those colors. Outfit she selected to wear instead: same turtleneck with lavender capri pants. Why? The capri pants have tiny pink ladybugs on them. "Bugs go with bugs."

Yesterday she insisted on a bright red shirt with maroon pants. "They don't go together, Sweetie." "Yes they do, Mommy. They're both red."

Her teacher must think I'm color-blind.

Aww, "bugs go with bugs." That's so cute!

I'm sure other parents have the same problem. I doubt the teacher's surprised. :)

That's what I figured too. As long as her clothes are clean and appropriate for the weather, it's just not worth a battle.
