Getting 4 hunters up, dressed, fed and to the blind.............or getting an almost 3 year old girl dressed in clothes that make her happy?
(of course, the clothes MUST match....like I know what matches.)

Gee's Wingman,
Haven't you learned to let them dress themself. When you are 3, pink and brown match. By the time they get to be 6 you will have learned how to out smart them
Good Luck!
Sound like yall are doing fine

I have to disagree with Delta Duck's advice: by the time they turn six, they will have learned to outsmart you!

all I can say is that your heart rate will be down when dealing with clients after you have "get the 3 year old girl dressed" boot camp for the next 9 months. you are going to have a ball!
here is the trick...lay everything out on the bed and let them pick it out...takes about 2 minutes. Then let them wear it - who cares if it matches
It's a lose/lose situation. If you make her wear something else, she'll be upset. If you let her wear what she wants, then her mama will be upset. just accept defeat on the front end and it will make the process much less painful.
truth be known, even at an early age little girls have already aquired the extra sense to assume that all guys are stupid and don't know jack splat about fashion. My little girl isn't even two yet and is already showing signs of it. It's like a baby rattle snake...small and cute but the venom is just as potent.
but that's what makes it fun! Gotta love 'em
Good luck..PM for advice anytime

I sure do miss the days of GrrAnimals! Man, just match the tigers with another tiger and there you are! A little different that matching breakup pants with breakup shirt, huh, Wingman! As I have a 17 yr. old daughter, I can honestly tell you...you ain't seen nothing yet!

Three year old use negative psychology. Same for some hunters too.
a buddy of mine said the other day to me "haven't seen you around lately." I told him that the misses was due any day with my little boy and i needed to be around to help her out with my 4 yr old little girl. he asked why. i told him my little girl was like "Robin Williams on crack."
