The weather here is hot. HOT and sticky. The kind of weather which makes you sweat glow.
Last night I faced a dilemma.
My daughter has a talent for going to bed in her PJs and by morning she’s back in her birthday suit. No problem, except her nappy is off too. I’ll spare you the details but let’s just say I end up doing a lot of laundry.
So I’ve been putting her to bed in a pair of tights and a t-shirt. These stay on all night which makes me happy. BUT yesterday was just way too hot for her to go to bed in tights. I couldn’t face another morning of clean up so I cut the feet off the tights and put her in them.
This is what happened as soon as I got her dressed in the new cut off tights:
She didn’t just take a few steps. She TOOK OFF around the whole of the downstairs. Out the living room, down the hallway, into the kitchen, out to the conservatory and BACK in a continuous walking loop for just under an hour!
At almost 20 months old she finally did it!!
And this morning when I changed her out of her new walking pants? She crawled around the floor like nothing had ever happened.
You cannot underestimate the power of the right kind of pants
