Mornings with Princess Zuri

I'm not sure Daddy realizes what the workday mornings entail with Zuri so I decided to photograph the routine.  :o)

First, I go into the Princess' room to wake her.  Easy??  Nope.

Next, I have to undress her.  We get lotion on and start getting dressed.

We continue to get dressed.  You will notice in the previous collage that there are jeans on the bed and you will notice in this collage that she has black pants on.  Yeah, she has an opinion about her clothes now.

Okay, finally dressed.  Time to brush teeth and pull hair back in a pony tail.

Tired yet?  I sure am.  Next, we have to get shoes on.  After about 5 minutes of talking about which shoes to wear, Zuri we decided on the new tennis shoes Aunt Julie bought.  Yes, the pictures are blurry.  You try taking a picture of the Princess.  She's pretty good at evading the Paparazzi (aka Mommy).

Now we get our coat on.  You might think that is easy, but you're wrong.  Zuri does NOT like this coat and has refused to wear it on several occasions.  Today, it's cold enough that I made her wear it.  We had to get milk and then we could get in the car.  Zuri is a big girl so she insists on getting in her seat all by herself.  Finally, we can head to school.

Daddy should try this one morning before work.  :o)
