Wacky and Tacky

Last Friday was "Wacky Tacky" day at school in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday.  If you know Katey at all, you know that this day was made for her!  It seems that no matter how hard I try, she doesn't quite understand what matches and what doesn't (though I think we are slowly getting there).  

For example, she came downstairs one day last summer wearing this and not wanting to change:

So, when I got downstairs on Friday I was all ready for a "great" Wacky-Tacky ensemble.  Katey proudly displayed her chosen outfit exclaiming, "Isn't this a great outfit for Wacky-Tacky Day?"

 

Doh!  Perhaps she isn't making as much progress as I had thought.  :-)  

So it was back to the drawing board and I almost laughed out loud as I heard, "Mommy, can you please help me pick something out that doesn't match?"

The result?  

Presenting, the very whacky, Wacky-Tacky Averill Kids:
