The up's and down's of playing Dress-up

I lent my friend Bonnie some maternity clothes when she found out she was pregnant. She returned them recently and Chloe thought they were clothes for her to wear. Chloe was very excited and was able to put them on herself. For about ten seconds she was ecstatic. As the large maternity shirt hung off her barely three-year-old body, it hit her. These clothes just may not be for her after all. You would have thought, seeing her devastation, that she realized the world perhaps doesn't revolve around her after all. Absurd, I know. I finally convinced her that she could keep dressing up even though they didn't fit her and, yes, there were more tears. But overall she was well pleased. Especially when she found the two piece bathing suit (the bottoms actually stayed up and I tied the top on her so they would stay on too). So maybe the world does continue to revolve around Chloe, and every other toddler. She even was able to get Tyler to join her in her dressing up. Happy Chloe ...and 'the world is coming to an end' Chloe. Still sad Chloe... Finally, satisfied Chloe You get the idea...
Tyler was just having fun. So laid back. It's nice to have at least someone in this house that's still laid back. I forget what that is like.
