Jenna dancing with Ho Ho. She dug him out of the Christmas box.
I know I am lucky. Jenna is a wonderful, beautiful, smart little girl. Big girl. Jenna is potty trained and has been for several months and does so well going to the bathroom BY HERSELF but I noticed something the other day. And I can't believe I did not notice sooner. Jenna will randomly decide to change out of her My Little Pony panties to her Hello Kitty panties to her Disney Princess panties on a whim. A lot of the time after going to the bathroom. It can't be easier to just change panties so I don't know why she is doing this. Maybe just to create more work (LAUNDRY!) for me. In any case, it really helps me out that she goes by herself when she needs to go without ever being reminded. Usually I have my arms full of Ashley Cakes so I am grateful. What I have just noticed, however, is that as the day wears on, her clothes wear OFF. I know I am busy and preoccupied with little sister but how long has this been going on?!?! My guess is that it has been gradual. I am not THAT oblivious! Last night she was just in a shirt. That's right. No pants, no panties and this was before dinner. Huh?!? Not bath time yet. Anyway, we had to wrangle her in and force some panties on. That was all though. She refused pants. She ate dinner in a shirt and panties. Thinking back, this HAS happened before. Huh. I know streaking and the like are normal but good grief. It's all I can do to keep things normal around here and everyone fed and clothed now I have to add on to the list that I have to keep re-clothing Jenna. (SIGH) Any help, tips, similar stories out there? I know I can't be the only one living through this...

Went through naked stages with both of the big kids. For the most part, we just went with it. Although I always insisted on at least a diaper or undies. The mailman was greeted more than once with practically naked kids. They did grow out of it... eventually. As for laundry - Meadow still has to be reminded from time to time that she can't change outfits 800 times a day. I think it's a girl thing.
BTW - the girls are sooooo cute!
Usually Gabrielle is in just a shirt & panties by dinner time too, but that's because she's either pooped or peed in her pants & I don't feel like putting a whole new outfit on her!
Sorry no suggestions on how to keep her clothes on! I guess if she's chilly enough she'd want something on, otherwise let her be free (hee hee!)
and I say, if she didn't do something so off the wall and cute those of us in bloggerland that love your tales would be just bored to tears :) :) lol whatever you do, don't change the stories!!
if you walked into my house at any give moment you would find D in panties and shirt or just panties. i just let her be. :)
Sorry, cant' help ~ Ian's always kept his clothes on. In fact, on the occasions where we've had to change pants late in the day because of whatever reason and I've just wanted to leave him in his shirt and undies he will have NOTHING to do with it. He doesn't like going around with less than the "normal" amount of clothes.
I say go with it. I mean, shes potty trained, so that hurtle is over, she isnt hurting herself, and she is happy. Eh, so shes naked. So long as shes isnt in public (worry about weirdos) I am guessing your fine. But what do I know, my kids are still no where near potty trained and wont be for months at the rate we are going.
