Reader Submissions: How Do Your Kids Dress Up?

See Published Submissions

Want to see a preschooler's imagination in action? Tell them to pick out their own clothes. One of my favorite parts of the day when my daughter was three was when she would come downstairs after getting dressed. Sometimes she'd pair rain boots with a feather boa, other times she'd decide that a gauzy sundress, striped tights and a bulky sweater were at the height of fashion. Whatever she chose, it was always interesting -- and made for some great photos! What "fierce" kids dress up outfit has your preschooler put together? Did you take him out looking like that? What types of reactions did you get?

Is there any time a preschooler playing dressing up isn't appropriate? When did you have to say no?
