Bathing Beauty


How is it that my two year old loves to wear a bathing suit but won’t go in the pool or even the sprinklers?

I don’t get it but for the better part of the summer the only thing my little one wants to wear is her bathing suit.  She has given up the nightgowns she loves and wants her, as she calls it, “soop” for daytime as well as bedtime.  It is the first thing she asks for when she wakes up, assuming she is not already wearing it.   All that is missing when we go out is actual clothes.  She is happy to pair the suit with socks and sneakers for the park but refuses to cover up the suit.  Of course I as the ever embarrassed parent must make up excuses for this indulgence on my part.  I am thinking of glaming it up for her with a big brimmed hat and movie star sunglasses, maybe some heels and lipstick for our daily strolls.  It’s tough being a girl.

I guess for now, at least its summer and its better than a furry bear costume, or heaven forbid a mismatched outfit!!
