6:54 AM: Our little fashionista is rocking a trendy owl pajama set from the stylish Carter’s collection. She’s so thrilled to start the day that she promptly christens the outfit with a surprise pee.
7:03 AM: Time for a wardrobe change! I dress her in a onesie that proudly displays my university’s name. It feels like I’m putting a bit too much educational pressure on my tiny tot, so I swap it for one that says “Diva Princess.” My partner, Chris, catches a glimpse and nearly faints.
7:28 AM: Breakfast time! As she dives into a jar of green beans, a sneeze creates a mini disaster. I switch her into a vibrant floral t-shirt and leggings. Chris quips that she looks ready for a tropical cruise.
9:12 AM: A surprise visit from my friend means another outfit change! I quickly dress her in a pink velour tracksuit emblazoned with a misspelled version of her name.
10:32 AM: Once my friend leaves, it’s back to cruise attire for the baby. The tracksuit? Straight into the burn pile.
11:14 AM: After a mishap involving a bottle of bubbles, I attempt to put her in a new onesie, but she spots her old Halloween costume (complete with Tinkerbell wings) and insists on wearing it.

12:14 PM: Halloween costume still on.
1:14 PM: Still.
2:02 PM: Sharpie and nylon do not mix well!
2:28 PM: Finally manage to remove the wings and put her down for a nap.
2:32 PM: Worrying she might be chilly, I add wool pants and a hoodie.
2:40 PM: Chris reminds me that her room feels like a sauna at 90 degrees; I hastily remove the socks.
4:00 PM: Time for a birthday party! I dress her in an adorable sundress featuring a tulle skirt and a sparkly heart.

4:05 PM: Chris comments that her outfit is perfect… for a Mardi Gras parade. I roll my eyes and add some bedazzled sunglasses for flair.
4:28 PM: At the party, she mistakes the Mickey Mouse cake for a plush toy and gives it a big hug. As she tries to lick her dress clean, I have no choice but to change her into the only spare in the diaper bag: her bathing suit.
5:46 PM: Time for a bath! I strip her down, and she’s never been happier.
7:23 PM: Pajama time! I finally put her to bed and realize I’ve been in the same green bean-stained, urine-soaked, cake-covered shirt all day long.
