Opinions

There's no doubt that our Rebecca has strong opinions. She has shown distinct preferences for clothes since she was a year old. This summer, she has wanted to wear "a piddy dess" [a pretty dress] every day, despite me wanting to occasionally put one of her cute shorts or capri outfits on her. When we go into stores, she shows me things she likes. If she doesn't like something, she isn't afraid to say it.

This past weekend when Grammy was here, we did a lot of shopping. (I'm sure this news comes as a surprise to no one). On Saturday, even though Rebecca was with us, she fell asleep in her stroller and slept throughout most of the clothes selection process.

Baby Gap has a line out that is kind of Russian-themed and has lots of bold colors - red, dark blue, bright teal, etc. Needless to say, Rebecca now has several outfits from that line. One of the things we ended up getting was this vest:



Yes, that's faux fur around the edge of the corduroy vest. It is so cute!

Later Saturday evening, we were pulling things we'd bought out of bags to determine what needed to be altered, what hairbows we needed to buy, etc. Rebecca ooh'd and aaah'd over things, held things up to her chest, and tried to put various pieces on, despite the fact that they are for cold weather and it was 105° outside. So I showed her the vest. She got this expression on her face:



Rebecca looked at the vest quite disapprovingly. Then she said, "'Dat's scary." She touched it gingerly then said with disdain, "'Dat's weird....put it back in 'da bag!" The next day, we showed it to her again. She again scowled at it and said, "'Dat is weird!"

The vest is going back to Baby Gap this weekend.
