I was talking to Granny recently about Addison's clothing preferences and mentioned that she won't really wear shorts, she only likes skirts and dresses. Through my comments in other posts, there are many references to our clothing drama here - this one is pretty minor compared to the drama of the past, the mismatched clothing issues isn't as bad as it was and she is wearing weather appropriate clothes. Although this one might be one where she is mirroring me, I don't wear shorts very often, but that is because I don't have any that fit well!
But after we talked I realized that I had bought her a number of cute shorts and I decided I needed to come up with a way to make her wear them. So we have created the shorts or skirt clothing chart. She got to choose which days she wore a skirt and which days she wore shorts. Wednesday is dress-up day at camp, hence the cowboyish outfit that day. Wasn't sure how it would work, but today was shorts day and she wore shorts to camp. So, she did change into a dress when she got home, but she at least put the shorts on for a while! Enough to call them dirty and need to wash them. We'll keep working on it.
