I thought it was pretty funny that today’s Blue’s Clues episode was all about “Love Day”. Is there a reason they can’t call it Valentine’s Day? Yes, I know what the Blue’s Clues episode was about. That’s one of the two shows I let Carrie pick between once a day – the other one being Signing Time. I ask her which she wants to watch, and she signs “play” for Signing Time, and “dog” for Blue’s Clues -although she’s starting to refine them both a little and sometimes will sign “blue dog” for Blue’s Clues.
So I completely forgot what day it was when I got dressed, and ended up wearing green. I remembered in time to put Carrie in a heart shirt. It was one of the first days we haven’t been accused of matching. Seriously, every time I go anywhere with Carrie somebody remarks on the fact that we’re wearing matching outfits. Here’s the thing about that…I really don’t do it on purpose. I do try to avoid putting her in clothes that clash with whatever I’m wearing, but it’s not like I’m going out and buying matching mother-daughter shirts. Besides, if I wear a pink shirt, well, something like 95% of Carrie’s clothes are pink so chances are her outfit is going to match mine. If I had a son and we both wore blue shirts I bet people wouldn’t say anything about us matching. Sigh.
