Except for church days and school pictures, we now let the kids (all of them) pick out their clothes and get themselves dressed each day. Ben and Jon are a lot like Will, putting on multiple sets of clothes each day, not caring a whole lot what the word "matching" means to me. Maddie, on the otherhand, is great about picking out the sets.
This morning, Allen sent the kids up to get dressed. Maddie came down wearing a yellow floral-print skirt and matching top. She accessorized it with purple princess shoes and floated down the stairs flipping her hair. Ben was at the bottom of the stairs finishing dressing himself. Maddie looked down her nose at him, lifted her eyebrows and said, "Ben, please put your poncs on."
Ben had a confused frown as he demanded that she explain, "What does that mean? Ponce???"
She rolled her little three-year-old eyes, sighed loudly, and shook her head at his ignorance. "Ben! Ponce are what you are wearing with your shirt, but I'm a princess today so I talk nice. Don't YOU say that, though. Only a princess can talk like me."
Ben didn't seem convinced. He stood up and started to walk away, but she quickly stepped in front of him with her arms out. "Now you can donce with me!"
