Dressed in the Best!

[mamaof4]

Typically, I let my 3 year old choose her clothes.. it is just easier on me- as long as it is weather appropriate I really do not care. Example- she wore a red satin holiday dress to preschool- I sent a note- that if it got dirty I would not care- I would hate to think I was giving her teacher extra work!

I agree kids, at some point, should be able to decide what to wear as long as it is weather appropriate. Quite frankly I don't care if they come in a tutu and snow pants as long as they are able to play in them and the parents don't care if they get messed up.

I think you are right on the mark.

I wrote in my contract that children are to come in PLAY clothes and clothes that can get dirty or stained during the day and from our daily activities i.e outdoor time and crafts, etc

I literally wrote in my contract that children should not come in their Sunday best. lol

On occassion I have been frustrated because I would warn parents we are going to have a messy paint day or go to Early Years and paint and then children would show up wearing white that day. Ahhh

I also hate onesies. Sometimes they hang down during diaper changes and get dirty and then I have to strip an entire toddler. Tee shirt undershirts would be so much better than closing snaps and having to remember to close all the buttons.

Ever had a onesie and then realize an hour later (while you walk down the sidewalk) that the 'flap' is hanging out? lol

I hate onesies too! I always forget to do up the snaps and the kids do then have flaps hanging down I put dresses (more like sundresses) on my daughter, but they are play dresses and I have no problem if the get dirty. Also, they are cool and comfortable and she can easily play in them. I wouldn't change a child who came in formal wear....just let her play in it and the parents will learn (or perhaps warn them at the beginning of the day in case, if it is the first time).
