It was great last week because I supported my oldest when she decided to wear the same outfit 4 days in a row. (Due to technical difficulties I can't upload the images I had of her smiling face and the outfit she picked. Sorry.)
We made it on time to school more often and had great conversations while walking to class. It was awesome. This week, it is Tuesday, she has done the clothes thing herself with no noodling thus far!
All in all three weeks of being late, one week of the same outfit, three runs to the children's second hand store to find clothes that work (which was my first mistake) and now things seem to work for her and me as a result. Now I can keep focusing on supporting our relationship while moving through these obstacles that pop up.
I am sure we will go back to noodling again and being late again but for now, life is good.
Share your late stories too. Heck, teach them the consequences of being late while they are young and the stakes are low!
