Hair Tie
This morning as I got the kids ready for the day, I picked out their outfits and asked them to dress themselves. The look Elle gave me said, "you know those pants don't fit me anymore". But i personally love them and can't give them up. She put the entire outfit on and said,"mom these are to tight on my belly". I took a close look...sure enough they would hardly button. I saw a light bulb go off in Elles mind...she ran to my bathroom. By the time i caught up with her she had unbuttoned her pants...taken one of my hair ties and looped it through the button hole and around the button. She was only mimicking me...all the prego days where my jeans don't fit...the hair tie trick is a life saver.
What a funny and smart little cracker jack. After a good long laugh, I agreed with her it was definitely time to retire those pants.
