We have entered the phase where Kaiya wants to wear a dress EVERYday. With that has come some unladylike behavior.... such as lifting the dress up showing off her panties to anyone and everyone, both at home and in public. So she has gotten some talks about dress-etiquette both from us and Kat, our nanny (just to clarify -- that's nanny with a "y" -- not nannie with an "ie") Because the kids have only one Nannie (Tony's mom). But except for when talking to Kaiya or Kaleb, I just can't bring myself to call Kat our sitter -- cause that just sounds like she is 14 and babysitting to get some extra cash to buy clothes or something.
Anyway... usually our explanation for why we don't flash people is telling Kaiya that if she wants to wear a dress like a lady then she must act like a lady. And ladies do not lift their dresses up. So this seemed to register with Kaiya and dress-lifting has nearly ceased to exist. However... this is now her reasoning for everything she does:
Me: Kaiya, why did you ____?
Kaiya: "Um... Cause I just like a lady."
This gets added to the list of excuses to use. It's no longer "the dog ate my homework" at our house. It's "cause I just like a lady."
Love this picture that Ruthie took of Kaiya when she lived with us.
