stubborn

chuck and i have been trying to figure out where dottie's stubbornness comes from. any guesses? :-)
to demonstrate just how stubborn she is, recently before one of our evening walks with milo, i gave her a red long-sleeved shirt to put on because it was getting a little chilly. she insisted on on wearing a pink shirt so in order to get out the door without any major breakdowns, i grabbed her new hot pink "big sister" t-shirt. well, we didn't avoid a breakdown at all. in fact, she insisted that it wasn't pink and had to wear a pink one. at that point, we laid down the law and said, "fine, you can wear one of these shirts or no shirt at all". as you can see from the picture, she went with the latter option. we got many smiles as we walked up the hill with our shirtless daughter on a chilly SF evening. finally chuck swindled her into putting her shirt on. oy! almost 3 and VERY stubborn!
