Yet another discussion I thought would happen later in parenthood

Modesty: That topic upon which discussions with toddlers usually begin with "Yes, you must wear {insert article of clothing here}" and end with a parent chasing a toddler while holding said article after a frustrating and only temporarily successful dressing event.

I'd add another definition if I could remember one.

Or maybe K is just channeling her inner Cro-Magnon warrior? Or is she just impervious to cold?

Either way, if she doesn't want to wear pants or shirt, there isn't much I can do to prevent her from removing them when my eyes are not glued to her. I have to admit, I'm pretty hard-pressed to dress a twisting, flopping, screaming, kicking girl (has anyone else noticed that toddlers can be really slippery when they want to be?) if she doesn't want to wear whatever article it is that I'm convinced is necessary in the first place. Act II is something I usually only commit to when she is good and ready.

In an effort to up the appeal of clothing herself, I've taken to announcing clothes like this:
"ooOOoohh!! Look! This one used to be Ali's/Is from Grammy/Is your special ... pants/shirt/sweater." We've also entered the phase of wearing the same shirt day after day, or PJs, simply because it's not completely filthy and it's the only one she will wear.

It doesn't help that we are actively potty training.

Oh, you don't want to wear your diaper because it's wet/dirty? I applaud that. Just not while you're napping. Or in nursery.

I'm sure this is temporary. While it lasts though, it's a bundle of laughs - really, despite my sarcastic tone, it really is rather comical on a daily basis.

Me "Come inside - aren't you cold?? I can see mountainous goose bumps on your skin and it's 40 degrees!"
K"huh?"
