A Two-Year-Old Clothes Horse

We’re finding that Penny has found a way to magically expand the size of her wardrobe. For instance, this morning we put on her green pants. She found she didn’t like them, so instead decided to wear her Whiny Pants.

It turns out that she has many different pairs of pants at her disposal. Our favorites so far: Grouchy Pants; Ambigu Pants; Cry-baby Pants; Poopy Pants; and the very elusive yet rewarding Happy Pants.

The lesson for the new parent may be that while we may feel like we're in charge, the kid is the one who is really wearing the pants.
