Nakie!

The littel girl I babysat for went through that stage where she would run around tearing her clothes off screaming Nakie Nakie Nakie! It was hysterical. Her mom got her to wear clothes by allowing her to dress up in whatever she wanted to wear just so she had something on - Some days it was pajamas, some days a tu-tu and some days a bathing suit - it worked and it made lots of people smile, which we could all use a little more of!
GOod luck

She is the sweetest thing. Gotta love those cheeks (all 4)! I haven't had the problem, but my sister did. Her two children would rip off their clothes at any opportunity. She solved the problem by allowing them "naked nudie" time each day -- an hour before dinner when they would close the doors, draw the blinds and let the kids run around au naturelle! It was how she convinced them to wear clothes the rest of the day. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Catalina's at the bargaining age yet! Good luck!

You guys crack me up! Thanks for the kind words and great advice, I think I am going to try putting her diaper on backwards tomorrow and see if she at least keeps that on. She can pull her pants off just fine, she will get one arm half out of her shirt and then cry because she cant move. Ahhh the joys of motherhood......wouldnt change it for the world.
Thanks again everyone
Carla

With a girl that cute, why make her wear clothes? She is a doll... I don't have any advice -- I just love those pics!

She is so cute and funny - I love the look on her face in the first picture - very determined!!
Sorry I don't have any advice - I have a huge battle getting the clothes on, but once they're on JJ usually leaves them on. Maybe overalls would be too hard to take off.

What a hoot! Catalina is so cute and it sounds like she already knows her own mind

Jesse fights every diaper change and every attempt to clothe. He'll take his diaper off if he's not wearing a onesie. The snaps seem to foil him...so far. He's constantly taking his shoes and socks off, though.

And they're just so darn cute running naked through the house!

Laughing, No advice here, but she is so darn cute. And just think when she turns 16 and is getting her drivers license, you have a great photo to put in the newspaper ::grinning::

Beautiful Baby! Congrats!
