I have a confession to make: Much of the time, I cannot resist dressing Lucy and me in “matching clothes”:http:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/2006\/wink\/. (Perhaps this is not a secret?) <\/p>\n

I rationalize it that my propensity for “matching”:\/news\/2006\/left-leaning\/ is merely sensible. It makes it easier to do laundry if we are both wearing “darks” or “colors” on any given day. Or, I remember that, as an ENFP on the “Myers-Briggs Type Indicator”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator, I do not enjoy making decisions. So, I can only handle deciding what *one* of us will wear each day. And it is even easier if Papa dressed Lucy in the morning — I just have to coordinate! Sometimes he joins in the “fun”:\/news\/2006\/better-red\/, too.<\/p>\n

But the truth is, I think matching is pretty cute. Lucy is cute enough on her own, but if I can match her, then I get a little cuteness boost too. [Editor’s note: And vice versa, baby!]<\/i> It is practical, especially since Lucy loves to be carried and worn so much. If I’m going to wear somebody, she might as well work as a matching accessory! Is that so wrong?<\/p>\n

Luckily, “Lucy”:\/news\/2006\/sushi-bowl\/ “seems”:\/news\/2006\/gaaah\/ “to”:\/news\/2006\/girl-power\/ “like”:\/news\/2006\/left-thumb-technique\/ “pink”:\/news\/2006\/too-much-fun\/ (“as”:\/news\/2006\/mother-and-daughter-at-dusk\/ “I”:\/news\/2006\/dont-look-back\/ “do”:\/news\/2006\/one-week-after-delivery\/) and doesn’t mind me futzing with her clothes too much. Soon enough, she will surely rebel and wear something that I look terrible in, like short shorts. Our matching days will come to an end, so I’m going to have as much fun as I can while I have the chance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
