Girly Ry

For as long as we can remember, Ry has always put things around her neck. I'm worried she's going to choke herself, but Matt thinks she's accessorizing. There is always a scarf (or something that looks like one), a jump rope, a string, pair of pants, etc. over Riley's shoulders. And she always comes to you to show it off. We have recently moved the girls in the same room and Riley's crib is right next to the dresser. She thinks she's cool because she can open the drawer and pull out Bay's clothes. I came in the other day and she had pulled out this swim suit and put it over her head. She was so proud of herself! Matt and I just wonder how they know they should be girly when we've never really pushed that kind of stuff! They both are though. With the new room arrangement there is a little corner between the dresser and crib that Bailey says is the dressing room. She is in there several times a day changing her clothes and trying different things out that she thinks will look good together. It's usually a brown shirt with pink stars with a blue and green skirt or something of the like. Although I took several child development and parenting classes that say as part of personality development you should allow kids to pick out their own clothes, this is one theory I'm going against. After all, it's me that has to go out in public with them.
