...and Then There is This One...

I am constantly amazed at this one. I grew up as a twin. My sister was the girlie girl. I was sure that I'd be a boy when I grew up. I played sports, despised dolls, dresses and pretty things. i cut the hair off her barbies and sharpied moustaches onto them. I remember one Christmas when I was 6 or 7 when I asked for(and somehow got) an entire cowboy outfit complete with cap guns and holsters. Thank you Santa- Mom for knowing that I wouldnt turn out too wierd. (i wonder if she worried?!?) Even today, I am not the prissiest girl you'd ever meet. I still would rather go to a baseball game than go to the mall. (usually)

So the older my girl gets, the more I wonder how she is getting so...well..girlie.
pink scrunchies??? princess dresses??


Here she is dancing...and you KNOW I didn't teach her how to do this! (maybe her dad did)


The dramatic finish!


She said she is going to the grocery(???) Of course she's imitating Mommy who ALWAYS wears heels, short shorts and ever-present pink scrunchy (is that a side-pony?)


And sometimes, Her big bro even tolerates her snuggling up to him on the couch to watch some TV. She'll say "i wuv you, Jackie" and he'll growl something sweet like "K, thanks Ry, you, too...can you just get up?"


Yep. That's my girl, and I love her.

She is soooo adorable - pink and girlie is definitely in! In several years, you might want to get her a copy of my book "On Being a REAL Princess, Secrets of the Happy Heart Princess" - don't mean to advertise but just feel it's a really important message in the book!

Umm just give up and let her do this outside of the house too..

You're a twin too? You never said! But yeah, I get you. My daughter keeps putting my shoes on, draping her hot pink handbag over her arm and trotting off to the front door to go "shopping". I couldn't care less about shoes, don't have a handbag that doesn't just contain nappy stuff, and I only really go to the shops to get the groceries. But she does like trains. I'll settle for that.
