Over the past few months, one of Franny's favorite activities has become dressing up--on any given day, she may change her clothes a half dozen times. It is an ironic passion, given that she also likes to run around in merely her skivvies. Also, although recently her naps have finally resumed, for nearly three long months her nap time became merely "quiet time", which to her, translated to "destruction time". Without fail, she would literally empty her closet. She would try on different outfits, lay outfits out on the floor for her friends, create all sorts of imaginary scenarios, and just make a tremendous mess. Even the hanging bar has been known to leave the closet and her closet door has been off it's track for weeks. Occasionally, she would eventually crash and fall asleep, but typically the process would be two hours in the making, followed by at least an hour for her to clean it all up. And frequently, the clean up would quickly divert into more dress-up and re-dress-up time. It was no less than excrutiating. I tried numerous things to attempt to minimize it, to no avail. I was close to considering finding a creative way of locking the doors when she started napping again. In the future, hopefully this pattern will continue and the mess will be significantly lessened.

Oh my! I have started referring to M as "Fearless Franny, part 2" so I wonder if this is another component of Franny's personality that we will also have the pleasure of experiencing first-hand in our own little W girl...?? They certainly keep life interesting! :)
