Me: If you're going to wear that top, you need to wear pants.
Her: But these are my favorite, favorite leggings! (Editor's note: she calls tights "leggings"...anything without feet are called "pants")
Me: Leggings aren't pants. And that dress is now a shirt. Shirts are worn with either pants or skirts.
Her: But it is a dress!
Me: It's too short. It's now a shirt. Find a pair of pants.
Her: See? (turning so I see her backside) It covers my panties. It's a dress.
Me: Oh...that is so not the definition of a dress!
In the end she found another actual, length appropriate dress to wear with her favorite, favorite leggings. Her teenage years are going to be awesome! Though, in retrospect, I should be happy she at least wears panties.

I am sometimes sad that I didn't have a little girl, too...but I definitely won't miss the fights over what can & can't be worn. :)
I had the same problem when I was little but it was because my 2 sisters are both 5'0" or shorter, and I was 5'5" by the time I was 12. Wearing their hand-me-downs meant that I couldn't wear them the same way they had, which never seemed fair.
And...Thank heavens for panties!
The only clothing issue I've ever had with the boy wasn't even an issue really--I simply informed him that sweatpants were inappropriate for church. And that was it. No drama. No tears. No foot stomp or hair flounce.
But I still wouldn't trade her for anything! No way. No how!
Ah yes, the wicked foot stomp & hair flounce! I think we girls are all born knowing how to do that...and it's just so darn adorable.
Nice to hear that wee girl is healthy, albeit a skinny-healthy. :) I have one that is all legs and arms, and there is hardly a pair long pants out there that can fit her, either!
