i don't remember this with the last one

My daughter has a clothes fetish. And it's fast becoming an obsession.

She doesn't want to wear any.
Ever.

Every morning, she'll greet us with happy noises, standing in her crib, proudly offering us her diaper, (Look! A gift for you!) her pajamas crumpled in a heap on her floor.

Getting her dressed isn't difficult - she doesn't kick or scream - it's just that as the day wears on she divests herself of clothing.
Casually.
Like we won't notice.

It started with her boots. She would kick her boots off in the car and then take off her socks. I took her slippers to the babysitters.

Then...we noticed we couldn't put her to bed in a nightgown anymore without spanky pants. If she could get to her diaper, all bets were off. Then she learned how to wrestle with onesies.

She's begun to slyly disappear into the other room and stroll back in, bare chested, waving her sweater like a flag.

But this afternoon....this afternoon was the pinnacle. This afternoon....we had Nekky Baby Blogging. Then, we had Nekky Baby Laundry Dumping, followed by Kiss the Kitties, Nekky Style. (and the cats were sooo thrilled about this...)

I've begun to fear for her future reputation.

Numbah Two Son was like that. We just put his onesies BACKWARDS so the zipper was at the back.

Problem solved.

Well it's a start toward getting her self ready for bed, I suppose.

Jess ~ Nora's the exact same way. Her babysitter keeps asking me if she strips all the time at home (and sadly, yes she does). I have been giving her a little "naked time" every night before her bath where she can run around the house and get it out of her system. Seems to be helping a little. That, and I put her in zipped pajamas w/feet if she tries to take off her pants too many times. :)

I don't know how old your daughter is, but has she potty trained yet? If not, one way to look at it is that you're already on your way!

heehee this is hilarious!!

I am sooo sorry you are having a hard time with it. lol

Joshua was and still IS the same way. Runs around in his tighty-whiteys all the time. Even in winter. We had to put a safety pin under the zipper of his sleepers as a baby. He could get out of them. velcro diapers?? no way. Had to find some with the old time tape. lol still found a way out of them. he gets home from school and looses the coat/sweatshirt at the door. Shoes and socks along the way. Shirt next.

Savannah refuses to keep socks and shoes on, but has yet to strip all the way. lol although, in nightgowns we runt he risk of a big mess int he mornings.

Whole lot of nothing going on

Last week, I got covid. For the third time, and this one was unpleasant in ways that I don't really want to talk about. (Life tip: NO ...
