While at dance practice for Jodi, I overheard a dad comment that the tights his daughter wears are so difficult to put on her. He further said that he ruins tights and stockings every time he gets his little girl dressed. I totally can relate. Those things are quite tricky as if you are not careful they get torn and ruined. Not only that, but half the time I can't figure out how to get Jodi's clothes on her. I mean, most times it is not a simple T shirt or dress. The outfits have straps and ribbons and such that makes getting her dressed comparable to a puzzle.
I remember taking the kids to swimming one day so I picked them up after work (running late) and planned to get them dressed in the swim clothes in the parking lot and then cart them inside the facility for the lessons. Nicholas got dressed with minimal help but here I am with Jodi, trying to get her in her swim suit. She steps into it and I fix it on her and got the straps over her shoulder and couldn't figure out to save my life why the straps are in the front and not the back! So then I thought maybe they should be in the front. But it looks weird.
So I try it again. Same result. I am looking at this thing and thinking to myself "how difficult could it be? next time your mother is drawing me a map!" After the fourth maybe fifth try I got it to work (dumb luck if I am being honest) and there I am running through the building with a child under each arm, barely making it there on time.
Of course half way through the swim lesson I remembered that I forgot to put on Jodi's swim cap.
Her momma is going to kill me!
