What to Wear?

We are getting ready for a trip to the Oregon coast and I have to admit that it's a breeze when it comes to packing for my kid. He rarely has an opinion on what he wears. Once in a while he'll say he wants to wear the t-shirt with the VW bus on it, but if it's in the laundry pile, he moves on.


This is not always the case for other parents, who have to deal with very opinionated dressers. I don't want to exaggerate and say just girls do this, but it does seem like females care more about what they wear. I remember being very opinionated about what I wore, but that probably started around third grade. Now I know toddlers who only want to wear dresses or special sparkly shoes. It can definitely cause frustration on the part of parents who just want to get their kids dressed and out the door.


Do your little ones like to take control of every outfit?
