A case against dresses

lilacs!

First, here's a picture of Amelia enjoying the lilacs.

Now to a story about another baby trap; We went for a family Mother's day brunch with as much family as lives around here, and so for fun and cute-ness I put Amelia in a dress. When we got home she climbed up the stair, but got her dress completely under her foot, so as she went to stand from her squat, she was stuck, she was held in place by the dress. She was too tired, and too unfamiliar with the mechanics of dresses to understand what was happening to her. I was on the toilet and couldn't help her, so she just tried to stand up a few more times. I was chuckling, so she laughed a bit too, but at the end after the 5th or 6th try, she just hunkered town and squawked her frustration. She was well and truly trapped. Needless to say, sleep came easily.
