Since I had to go and overanalyze the Practices of Smock a few weeks ago, I got schooled in how to properly accessorize The Smock yesterday while I was working in the nursery.

By a one year old.

Evie, who was proudly wearing a very classy smock, taught me the new, modern smockcessorizing practices.

It’s not the bonnets anymore…the Modern Baby just isn’t interested in looking like they have a miniature bed-skirt tied around their head.

It’s not the lacy socks either. They itch, after all. And they make you look like a baby.

Nope, not even the patent leather shoes. The Modern Baby desires more of an edge.

According to Evie, the latest and greatest smockcessory, guaranteed to make sure everyone know that you can wear smock and still be Badd, is….

A tattoo.

That’s right. Smock just isn’t smock unless you’ve got a thigh tattoo to compliment it.

Especially one that won’t scrub off before church, no matter how hard your Mom tries.

There’s just no better accessory to say, “Don’t mess with me, even if you DO think I messed in my diaper.”

  1. That is so funny! Thanks for the schooling on modern smock accessorizing…guess I need to go find some tattoos for Aubrey :)

  2. Haha, those pictures are too cute! I rubbed K's skin until it was bright red the night before Easter b/c she had tatooed herself the weekend before and they still hadn't come off. I didn't want them in all the Easter pics. :)

  3. MUAH HA HA HA HA!!!! MUAH HA HA!!! HEE HEE HEE!!! MUAH HA HA HA!!!

    AND depending on what kind of temp tattoo it is, it can be removed with either scotch tape, Goo Be Gone, or a little olive or baby oil. One of these 3 will work.

  4. I noticed in Children's Church that all the kids had tatoos. They are 5-8 years old. It must be the thing right now.

  5. I tried baby oil and alcohol to no avail. Ella put 5 of them on her Friday. Out of those 5, two are still holding strong three days later. (:

    What can I say, she is one tough cookie! She is the only girl in her class you know.
