Baby Style

Friday, September 12th, 2008 | The Daily Special

Unlike Tori I have no style (unless “Mommy Slovenliness” is style). But even if I can’t get more than a matching pair of sweatpants and shirt together, I can make my daughter look good.

The other day I went shopping for clothes for Anna at Goodwill. Unless you have a lot of money, it’s silly to spend a lot on clothes for someone who will outgrow them in less than 3 months. Goodwill has infant clothes for $0.99 each, which is nicely within my budget.

I was overjoyed to find a coat that matched a hat that Rena sent for Anna. Yesterday, it was a little cool so before I took Anna and Cash out on the morning walk, I dressed her warmly in her new coat and hat.

Rena's Hat

See? I do have some ability to match clothes items, just not on myself.

This should be especially impressive considering that Anna woke me up every two hours on Wednesday night. She is showcasing her newly acquired ability to roll over from her back to her tummy on her right side. She likes to wake up, roll over, and then get upset that she’s on her tummy. This means that I have to go in and roll her back over and then comfort her until she stops crying. There has barely been any sleep here and yet I was still able to match up a hat and coat. Impressive no?
