When PreSchoolers Dress Themselves

This morning I was witness to a scene straight out of the beloved (IMHO anyway) Sandra Boynton book "Blue Hat, Green Hat." The one where at the end of the book the slightly addled turkey dons an array of brightly colored, mismatched clothing (red hat, yellow shirt, green pants, purple socks, blue shoes), but then dives fully clothed into a swimming pool...

To be fair, there were no swimming pool, or any other water-based, incidents involved this morning. But after Lily dressed herself, she bore a passing resemblance to the turkey. Picture this:

-Turquoise corduroy skirt
-White and pink shirt with dancing ballerina
-Purple striped and 'starred' knee socks
-Pink and black camouflage pattern tennies
-Navy, white, and aqua green jacket
-Bright pink Elmo hair clips

Lily completed the ensemble with mittens. One cream and one pink.

Thank gooodness school pictures were yesterday.
