LONG LEG DILEMMA

Dandelion has beautifully LONG legs. She reminds us of a little colt. She still needs to grow into them and has not yet acquired the grace to handle them. She is still full of tumbles and stumbles due to her LONG legs, LONG feet and LONG toes. (her poor toes are constantly bleeding in the summertime!

Well, on the last day of school it was FREE DRESS DAY! Now, I have to admit that I was thankin' my lucky stars on that day that they wear uniforms because they are so opinionated about clothing right now that I would seriously lose my mind if I had to deal with it on a daily basis.

The requirement was of course that the shorts had to go to their knees. Well, Hannah's capris from last year are too tight this year and of course on her shorts are a problem - shorts that are fine on another little girl are daisy dukes on her. Buying a larger size is not an option since she is a skinny minnie. I tried to explain to her that it was okay if her shorts were not all the way to her knees; that they would understand and it would be okay (all the while hoping this was true....). However, anyone that knows her knows that she is a RULE FOLLOWER!

I was admittedly surprised when she FINALLY agreed, saying with quite a bit of spunk.......: "YEA! It is not MY FAULT THAT MY KNEES ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE!". ..... on went the shorts and out the door she went. Funny girl.
