Some weeks ago, my daughter was sick and she could not go to school. I had to stay with her at home. Since she had fever, I asked her to lay in the sofa, but first, get some comfortable clothes…
She started to cry immediately and repeated more than once… no clothes! no clothes!
I understood she was sick, but my patience was almost done!… after a couple of minutes without results I asked her: “Ok, give me ONE reason why you don’t want clothes”. She pointed out the sweatpants I had in my hand and said with all determination: “Because THAT is not pretty!”
What do you think?
As a mom… I wanted to dress her immediately!
But as a woman… I understood!
Sometimes, I forget that I’m not only raising up another human being… but also a woman!… and every woman has her own taste! 😉
Sorry Chiquis… Sweatpants never again!
Hasta la próxima,
Kaqui…

Gracias tía!
Respect is one of the values I want to teach her… The sweatpants was a good example for a 4-years-old girl.

This post is hilariously true. It doesn’t matter how old a female is, she is always a woman at heart. My daughter is currently going through a stage where she refuses to wear anything but Christmas and princess dresses with as many sparkles as possible.

My daughter always wants to wear a prefect dress, no matter the weather, activity or time, she prefers to look beautiful with a dress, no pants and never sweatpants, she hates them!

But I enjoy to see her confidence when she looks herself in the mirror 🙂
