Although, I have yet to blog my summer... I keep not blogging other stuff, and it's bugging me that I am so behind... so.... I must share the story from tonight.
Yesterday I went to a consignment sale, I got lots of goodies, for fairly good prices. Katie thinks that she got the luckiest, because she not only got a pair of "piggy pj's" but also a "Horsey outfit". The Horsey outfit has the cutest little character style horses on the skirt, and the shirt, and the matching little vest. It IS a very cute little combo. She of course HAD to wear it today to preschool!
As she was getting ready for bed tonight she put on her piggy pjs and showed me that she was wearing them. Then she pointed to the laundry basket and said... "I love these jamies, I am NEVER putting them in there!" I chuckled to myself, as I remembered that this past laundry stretch was a rather LONG one... nearly 2 weeks. (she was likely missing some of her favorite outfits for some time, and was blaming the laundry basket)
About 5 minutes later, I found the horsey outfit on top of her dresser. "Katie, this needs to be washed honey." Tossing it carelessly into the "BASKET OF DOOM!!" OH THE TEARS MY FRIENDS...... OH THE TEARS.... you would think that I'd thrown it in the trash. Because I just did laundry for her and Tori yesterday, I realized that indeed, she would be with out her new favorite outfit for at least a week. I took sympathy on the girl, I know how it is to have a favorite shirt or jeans, and have them miss laundry day. I pulled it out of the basket and told her that I would wash them tonight with my laundry. The tears continued for some time.... we're talking 20-30 minutes, despite the fact that I kept trying to explain it. Finally, when calmed down, just a bit, she was able to understand when i told her.... "the horsey outfit is in the washer... right now.... it is wet and soapy.... in a few minutes, I am going to put it in the dryer... then it will roll around and get dry. I will fold it tonight and put it right here.... on your floor. It will be clean, and you can wear it tomorrow to the gym to show all your friends."
A little sniffle, and a snuggle of her stuffed pigs and she was off to dream land.
I just thought it was SOOOO funny that she was so sure that the laundry basket was the last she'd see of her outfit!! LOL I love this girl!!
