So here is a classic image of two girls who have not yet
reached the age where they care what they wear, or whether it matches or how it
looks. Can’t you tell?
I snapped this photo at Epcot in January of 2011. The girls
are doing that game for kids where they hunt through the park for things using
a fake cell phone that gives them clues. What was the name of it?
Oh, whatever. The point is, when we’re on vacation, I sometimes
give Alex & Maryssa the opportunity to pretty much do what ever they want.
With the exception of being ready to go at the same time as everyone else, they
can eat what they want, sleep however late they want, and – as evidenced here by Maryssa's wardrobe for the day –
wear what they want.
And while this was only a short year and a half ago, we’ve
definitely entered a new phase. Now hair bows need to match, and even nail
polish and socks are changed to go with certain outfits.
I’ll always look back on this photo as a reminder of a time
when getting dressed was more of an adventure. As Maryssa said one time when
she was about five years old, “Mom, I want to wear ALL the colors!”
