Anyone for dress-up?

Perhaps one trait that comes with being the third child is the automatic thought that one is just as old and independent as the older siblings. Ever since Sydney was old enough to fight back, she's done just that. She loves to wrestle with Hayden, and it's sometimes sad to hear my 6 year old son calling for help with fear in his voice because his 1 year old sister has taken him to the ground and he can't get up.
As she's getting older her independence is shining through more and more as well. She wants to go to the potty, just like her siblings. She doesn't go, just takes off her diaper, sits on the toilet, yells done, wipes herself with TP, and flushes. It actually started off very cute, until she started doing it at least 3-4 times each hour. That's A LOT! She also likes to choose what she eats - which isn't much for variety, and what she will watch on tv - still not much variety, and especially what she will wear. She will let me dress her for the day, if she's in a good mood, but if she's been gone upstairs for a while I can figure she's changing her clothes, and of course - taken off her diaper. She is pretty creative with her choice of clothing, wouldn't you say?
Not too bad, till you realize those are Hayden's underwear!


Coming downstairs in Rebecca's swimsuit, my socks, and purses galore! Oh, and of course - no diaper!

I'm pretty sure she's wearing Rebecca's panties - possibly 3 pair at once, Rebecca's old sweater, my socks again, and Rebecca's crocs that Sydney has adopted as her own.

Helping me with the laundry wearing my shirt....
Oh, and can you see through the shirt?? No diaper!!

That is too cute, but I'm glad I'm not you! =) That would be a lot of clean up
