Yes, I Washed That Shirt!
PARENTING | Mommy Niri | March 19, 2009 at 5:11 amYes, I Washed That Shirt!

In advance I would like to apologize to all those poor people in my daughter’s gymnastics’ class for having to see the same shirt on her every single week. Trust me, I am even more sick of seeing that favorite shirt than you. It is clean, I swear, though waiting for it to get out of the dryer has been met with more “Is it done yet?” questions than I care for. I love Dora to bits (I even raved about her earlier and have defended the makeover she is supposedly getting) but I can see her picture in my dreams now. Though it has been embarrassing to put that shirt on her each day, I don’t have the energy to fight her on it (not that I have not tried). Plus I have even more battles in a day that I prefer to win.
I also know (hope) that this fad will be outgrown. I hang onto that thread of hope recalling earlier she had a love (obsession) with numbers (go figure). To indulge that one I just got several iron-on number transfers and put it on everything, and just went with the flow. In time (and thankfully before I ran out of numbers or patience), she cast them aside. One day (hopefully soon) this too shall pass. So until then please bear with me and, excuse my daughter’s attire

My 2 yo insists on wearing a Wiggles shirt nearly every day. And since it’s tough to find Wiggles shirts in the US, I have had to make them out of iron on transfers. After a few washes, they are pretty much destroyed already. That doesn’t stop him though. But you’re right, the kids will outgrow it.

Take her shopping and let her pick the new T-shirt, make her feel proud that she picked it. Hope this works.
