cat named pig

1. Mismatched pants, shirt, everything. But this would be no different from any other day, as we typically prize “getting yourself dressed while I drink five cups of coffee” over “looking like a Gap Kids ad.” But read on, for it gets better. . .
2. Floor-length “Belle” princess gown. (This has also been worn to the grocery store, the YMCA, friends’ houses, and on various other errands about town.)
3. Ballet leotard (sleeveless, in January, with a sweater which was immediately discarded upon arrival for being un-ballerina-like), tights, leg warmers, and paint-stained ballet slippers.
4. A hair ornament that looks like a ballet tutu, with glittery beads. Which makes the shorter pieces of her self-cut hair stick straight up. 
5. And the best of all — a shiny teal nightgown with hula dancers on it, worn over bright, multicolored flower-print pants and under a bright purple T-shirt. 

We just registered for the spring session of this parent-child music class, and I’m thinking Matt’s going to be the one to take her a lot more of the time . . . .
