"noooo, red!"

last night she threw a small wobbly as she got ready for bed.

it's always a bit of a tussle getting her to put on her night nappy and pjs and last night was no different.

after i got the nappy on i slipped off her bathrobe and pulled over her head 2 long-sleeved t-shirts (it was nippy). but as it came over her head she wailed, "noooooooo!"

then she tugged at it trying to pull it off, crying, "bluuuuuuuuuue!"
that was when i realised she didn't want to wear it for its colour.

so i quickly pointed out that there was another t-shirt underneath which was red. she looked suspiciously at the red cuffs but then resumed her protests. i persisted and finally placated her by asking if she wanted me to read her a bedtime story. needless to say, she calmed down immediately.
