No shirt. No shoes. No problem.

Looking through some of the recent pictures I’ve taken of Taylor, I’ve noticed an emerging fashion trend for our toddler:

And just so you don’t think we encourage nakedness in the wintertime months, let me tell you that the reason T is topless for our latest pictures is mostly due to us taking her shirt off when she eats dinner. Because if you have seen my daughter eat, you know her love of food and how fast and furiously she’ll shovel it in her mouth. And to cut down costs on stain-stick around our house, we just strip her down and let her paint her body with that night’s entree.

And after we finish eating and cleaning up, Taylor always refuses to put her shirt back on. She actually runs away from it going, NOOOOOO! And since we’re only an hour or so from bedtime at that point, we just let her run around half naked because, A. It’s not worth a tantrum, B. We love marveling at how big her belly is, and C. It allows good tickling opportunities.
