Coooooooaaaat!!!

Gracie has developed a rather strong attachment to this jacket/vest. Other than being in the washer twice, she has worn it going on a week now.
When it was covered in applesauce I convinced her we needed to clean it, and the lure of getting to play with the washer was great enough that she let it go. Then she cried for 15 minutes until she found another coat to put on:
At first it was just during play and meal times, but we have escalated the coat wearing needs to nap and bed times as well(as seen here over her pj's):
The only way she will cooperate with diaper and wardrobe changes are if we promise up and down that she can put her coat RIGHT BACK ON afterwards. It is preferable if you can somehow keep the hood on at all times though. Of course, I could fight her on this, but as many parents know, it's just easier not to.

At least she is letting us change all the clothes underneath daily so people don't think I'm neglecting her and call CPS.

Here's hoping she grows out of this phase by kindergarten.
