disclaimer: i love two-year-olds. they are sweet, cuddly, funny and fascinating a lot of the time.
but.
there are those trying moments/days/weeks. those grade a mood swings. those puzzling personality tics.
i have known little girls who will only wear pink, or dresses, or sparkly shoes. my kid? only wants to wear orange.
this has been going on for a year. she is quite vehement and will only deign to don other colors if all the orange things are dirty. or hidden. (did i say that?)
have you tried shopping for orange everything in the little girls department? i'll save you the trouble – you can't. head to the little boys department, because that's where the orange stuff lives. i found thing two's favoritest bilious orange tees there, one that says "i'm definitely up to something" and the other that says "monkey see, monkey do, monkey get in trouble too." we have also gotten more than our fair share of use from halloween pumpkin and spider shirts.
fortunately, orange must be gaining ground, because for spring i found several little girls shirts, a bathing suit and a dress that are actually – gasp – cute. which pretty much guarantees babycakes will change her color allegiance soon.

She may not outgrow the orange thing. My 13yo daughter's best friend is all about the orange! She has an orange backpack, an orange coat (you can really see her coming!) and bright orange Chuck Taylor high tops!!!
It could be worse, she could be goth & want all black?
So cute. I'm laughing at Suzi's comment. My little niece used to only wear black. She would watch Nightmare Before Christmas daily. The thing that brought her out of it was seeing Beauty and the Beast on stage. Actually, she saw it 7 times on stage. Then, she was Belle crazy. Kids are funny.
