The Lady Bug Dress

Well, let me just start by saying that I have my work cut out for me!! A couple of weeks ago I was excited about the warm weather because Harlee was given this cute dress, and it was going to be the perfect day to wear it. I put the dress on her with her fighting the entire time. She was pulling on her dress and saying she was not going to wear it. I told her how much I liked it and I thought the dress was very pretty! She then said "then you wear it". Oh no!!! She continued to tell me she was NOT going to wear the dress. Well, little did she know that her mother is as hard headed as she is. I dropped her off at daycare wearing the cute lady bug dress. When I picked her up that afternoon she was wearing different clothes. Since we are now potty trained I obviously thought that she had an accident and had to change clothes. Wrong! Once I left her in her classroom she began telling her teachers that she did not like her ladybug dress and they needed to change her clothes. Her teacher told her that she needed to wear the dress that Mommy had put her in. She continued to complain and even showed her teacher the extra set of clothes in her cubby. She told her teachers that she needed to go potty even though she had just been about 5 minutes before. She went into the bathroom, stuck her dress in the potty and then said ok, now change my clothes! Ugh! We have been out smarted by a 2 year old!! If it were me I would have made her wear the dress, potty water and all, but I guess they can't do that at day care. If I did not have to work that night I would have washed the dress that night and sent her back to school in the same dress the next day. Later that evening she told Nana that it was a berry uggy dress, and she was berry mad at her mommy. When I asked her about the dress the next day she said that it was not her favorite, and it was berry uggy. When I told her that we were going to give the dress to another little girl who would love it and not put it in the potty she changed her mind and decided she would give it another try.
So...here we go. We are trying the dress again today. She said this morning that it is still not her favorite, but will wear it. I had to work it up a little bit this morning and bribe her with a treat if she makes it all day wearing the dress. So we will see who wins this battle. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she will be in the same dress this afternoon. I think that the dress is adorable!! How could she think that it is uggy? Two year olds!?! I can only imagine how hard headed she will be as a teenager!
