When Children Dress Themselves

Short poem inspired by my children’s fabulous choice of wardrobe.

This poem was inspired by my children’s “unique” choice of dress for a very cold day. We had an ice storm and it was freezing….literally! Ice covered the trees and the roads. My children actually let me sleep in…sort of. I could hear them in their rooms, excited about picking out their clothes for the day. When they were finished dressing, they raced into my room. The last picture in this article displays their fashion choices for the day. I am sure a few moms and dads out there can relate!!!

When the weather’s cold and icy
It really would be nice
If my children wouldn’t insist
On dressing like this….

Cute cute cute!!! Your children are very cute. Very funny. I knew a kid who insist wearing her swimming suit to go to the market hahaha… Kids, you can never guess what’s on their mind.

These little cuties are just full of imagination. They’ve got the best of two worlds here;summer and winter. I love this!

They are so cute. Just the sort of thing my brothers and I would have done as children. I loved the poem.
