You know how I love matching? #momfail

Turns out there may be a case against it.   

GASP!!!!

Nory wonders if I should even share this story.  It is SUPER embarrassing.  For the both of us.
I’ll cut to the chase.

I put on Nory's swimsuit so she could join her cousins for a swim in the lake.  However, while I was putting it on, I noticed that it was definitely tighter than usual and I made the assumption (you know this won't end well) that Phil disregarded my strict instructions to NOT PUT SWIMSUITS in the dryer.  I was pretty annoyed because I had told Phil several times to hang the suits to dry and I assumed (again, this won't end well) that he saw himself as a God of Laundry and could do as he pleased with the items he washed.  

Nory - stage right.  In the swimsuit that had......shrunk. 
Well.

It wasn't long before I thought Juliet would also like to swim in the lake.  So I went to the diaper bag to retrieve her matching swimsuit and this is where things blow up in my face.   

BIG TIME.

I knew instantly that I had made a huge mistake and burst out laughing.

Turns out our 35 month old daughter was wearing a 3-6 month swimsuit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Which meant I had to do the walk of shame to my husband and my daughter.  And apologize.  For my wrongful assumptions.  And for the uncomfortable swimming experience...

Some morals to this #momfail:

1)  Matching can work against you if you fail to be diligent. 
2)  Never assume.  (Duh, everyone knows this!)
3)  Phil is a saint for laughing and forgiving. 
4)  These are the stretchiest swimsuits ever.  And the girls will be wearing them for years to come!
