Watch out world, Laney is dressing herself

Laney woke up one morning recently and announced to Patrick and I that she was going into her room to get dressed.  She told us not to come in, because she was going to pick out her own outfit and get herself dressed "like a big girl."  Curious yet delighted, we closed her door and began getting ourselves ready in the master bathroom.  About 10 minutes later, she wandered in wearing this outfit:

Yes, those are tights OVER her shorts, which are bright green and are meant to go under skirts.  Clearly she needs bigger tights, and thinks it is very bright in our house.  I gently tried suggesting it would be more comfy to have the shorts on the outside, but she resisted and I ended up letting her spend the day in her first self selected outfit.  Priceless!  I need to give her some lessons on how to pull together a fashionable ensemble, but she looks so cute when she gets herself dressed, I can't bring myself to critique!

A few nights later I let her cover herself in stamps since she was using washable ink.  Hopefully she doesn't end up tattooing herself for real one day!  

Now we can't leave the house unless she has sunglasses on, and yesterday informed Patrick and I during a play session that she needed to go get  her "rockstars."  We were confused until she came back in wearing these:

She woke up yesterday morning and decided that she wanted matching pajamas with her brother.  She picked out these space jammies at Carters and they looked ADORABLE last night as we got them ready for bed.  

After Liam went upstairs, Laney begged me to take pictures of her jumping around the living room so her hair would look silly, like in an episode of her favorite new show on the Disney Channel, Octonauts.  I would shoot a few photos and then she would view them on my camera, laughing hysterically telling me that her tummy couldn't stop laughing.
