Occasionally, Dave dresses our children. Or tries. It's always an interesting experience. He doesn't bother with things like checking the size, whether
its seasonally appropriate or matching the colors. He alternately puts too many pieces of clothing them or too few. He has a very open-minded attitude as to what constitutes an outfit.
He finds girl clothes particularly baffling. One morning, he got Willow up, dressed her and brought her down to breakfast.
Me: Why is she wearing that?
Dave: What? It's cute isn't it?
Me: It's a swimsuit.
Dave stares at Willow for a long moment, trying to absorb the fact that the two-piece bikini with a picture of Pooh Bear in a boat on it is not, in fact, an appropriate outfit for church.
Me: It has matching water wings.
Dave: Oh. That's what those are.
He has, on occasion, dressed her in her brother's clothes, nothing but a raincoat, and a dalmatian Halloween costume.
But one of the things that make him such a great dad is that he always tries. He'll fumble with tiny buttons and hairbows and little shoes and socks. And if our daughter occasionally goes out in public looking like a tiny bag lady, that's a small price to pay.
Hehe
