Checking the tights to make sure you've got the ones with the seams that lay just the right way.
You can rush through. You can argue. You can loudly proclaim that it ISNT A BIG DEAL and those are the only tights that match and just wear them please! Or you can get the ones that don't make tears in the early morning and take ten seconds more to straighten them out across tiny toes. Exactly even. And then wait five seconds more so she can do the test step or two. Just to be sure.

Oh, yes. I've learned this the hard way. I have a little girl who is so very sensitive to the seams of her tights, and I have rushed her before...and it never actually saves time, does it?
Sweet feet.
I love your picture to the right. You look lovely.

I just did this very same thing this morning at 6:30 am when Anne was getting dressed for school. Honestly, the lining up of the seams happens every day. Add to that she is between the two standard US size tights. The 4-6 are too small and the 8-10 are too large. So there's that too.
