Emily is a very persistent child. She can stick with a task until it is completed. This will be very helpful when she is older, as long as she picks the correct tasks. Last night it was an adamant refusal to put her clothes back on.
Emily is turning into a girlie girl. She loves to dress up. Pretends to put on make up. Also, she is constantly changing clothes, which tends to lead to a lot of laundry. Last night, she was changing outfits when Kirsten stopped her and asked her to put her original clothes back on.
Emily refused. Kirsten gave her a choice, clothes on or confinement in her room. 25 minutes (of various fit throwing) later she finally puts her clothes on leaves the room.
Of course, this probably just stubborn behavior on Emily's part, but I am trying to put a good spin on it. :-)
