The kids had a long discussion about Cinderella and if she is still a princess when she dances at the ball or does she become a ballerina then?  And does she wear socks with her glass slippers?  I also got the opportunity to make a new family rule, on the fly.  It is now official that a dress must reach your knees.  Anything shorter is called a shirt and requires something underneath.  We&#8217;ll see how long this rule lasts.  :)  Eve argued hard that this cute blue thing is a dress, but I eventually won and she put on pants.  Crazy girl!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2458\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2328.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2458\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2328-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Dressy Eve\" title=\"Dressy Eve\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2328-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2328-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">6:30am, Friday morning.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been working on a big project the past few days and I&#8217;m almost done now.  I took 17+ boxes and bags of kids clothes, sorted them by gender, then size, folded them neatly and put them in plastic tubs.  I did the gender neutral stuff first (yellows, greens, and blue jeans in the older years), then the girl stuff and lastly the boy stuff.  I was amazed at all the clothes Lex has had!  I think it&#8217;s most striking at this point in life because he only wears 3 shirts, 2 pair of pjs, and a few pants.  I know he used to have a much bigger variety to his wardrobe, but now it makes me laugh to see all of these clothes.  It also makes me a little sad because this was a project I was planning on doing in June after we found out if baby was a boy or girl.  Sigh.  Oh well, I decided to do it now and just save the clothes for the future.  Now at least it&#8217;s done (almost!) and will be easy when the time comes.  These piles don&#8217;t even include all the yellow and green stuff or the two boxes of 2T clothes I gave to a friend awhile ago!<\/p>\n<p>Lex was nice enough to pose for this picture.  When I showed him the preview on the camera he said, &#8220;Wow, that&#8217;s a really nice smile!&#8221;  He cracks me up.  :)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2459\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2332.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2459\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2332-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Lex and his clothes\" title=\"Lex and his clothes\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2332-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2332-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2459\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lex and four years of clothes<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2460\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2334.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2460\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2334-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Pretty Eve\" title=\"Pretty Eve\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2334-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/IMG_2334-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One more of Eve, at dinner tonight.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Alan brought me wine and flowers tonight.
