It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

I dressed myself

Do your kids dress themselves?

My Daughter does. She is the one who needs the button that says, "Today I dressed myself." One day she wore stripped tights and a tank top with a pink shoelace tied around her waist. This was January, and we were at the arena. At least her outfit was so extreme that no one would assume that I actually picked her clothes out for her. Husband thinks that she may become a real fashionista. We'll see.

Son Two has been dressing himself since he was three. Sometimes my husband picks out his clothes, and he'll be wearing stripes and camouflage, or black, brown and navy. For those days I wish we had a button that says, "Today my Daddy dressed me."

Son One is becoming a problem. He will be seven in a few days. And I still dress him.

No, I don't mean that I still pick out his clothes. I mean that I physically dress him. I pull his shirt over his head. I pull up his pants and pull on his socks.

He will be seven next week. He is completely capable of dressing himself. He is lazy. And likes the attention. One day, probably sooner that later, he won't want me to dress him.

Either that or I will be camping out on his university residence floor and picking out his clothes for his dates.
