I got to get Mallory dressed this morning – I went into her room and softly woke her up.
Her first words were “Can I wear a bress today?” I asked if she’d been a good enough girl to be able to wear a dress and she nodded her head.
She had to wear the spinniest dress in her collection (as expected after a 10-day hiatus) and asked if Lauren was going to wear a dress at school today too. Mallory was so agreeable that she let me comb her hair and put a barrette in it. And she brushed her teeth and went potty without a fight.
I got her some juice and she headed upstairs to hang with daddy because I had to leave for work. I told her to tease her daddy and tell him that she wasn’t dressed and that she’d been grumpy.
She gave me the funniest look and said “but I am NOT grumpy!”
I truly think she was afraid I thought she was being grumpy and that she was going to lose her fancy dress.
