It's Hopeless

This evening, as Ellie was in her bedroom trying heroically to put on her jammies, I heard a sudden fit of foot-stomping. I walked in to find her confused and upset. She just couldn't match up the buttons and button-holes the correct way. Finally she turned to me, nearly in tears, and said, "Mom, it's hopeless!"

Luckily, mom has some serious buttoning skills or all would certainly be lost.

She seriously needs to be on the cover of a kids' clothing magazine. She is absolutely ADORABLE!!!

At 7 we still have button drama.

Buttons are so hard! Even my eleven-year-old struggles to match the proper button to hole. Good thing we moms are so good at it. :)

Ellie's comment is awesome. It's so easy to feel that all is lost...even if it is over button holes.
