Pretty pretty princess

My daughter is a lot like me, a tomboy. Most of my childhood was spent being raised by my dad. He likes dirt. Dirt bikes, quads, getting dirty, camping, etc. It was great that we exposed to that, would be the rough and tumble girls. We had a 4-wheeler quad at the age of 5, which my sister subsequently crashed the first day we got it. I have been flipped over, rolled on, thrown off, you name it I've been through it. I never have required stitches or a cast. I lucked out. Now while I grew up a tomboy, I managed to girly out in my later years. I wear my fair hare of pink and do my hair and makeup. I do long for the days of a good quad ride in the desert though. Dirt and all.

I had a daughter. I got a lot of pink and girly things at my shower and proceeded to buy girly things for her to play with. I got clearance dress up clothes after Halloween last year, made her tutus, the works. So, it came as a bit of a surprise when she started asking to watch Cars over and over again. Daddy would be playing his racing games and she would sit on his lap in awe. She evolved to picking the cars for him to race, picking the tracks and cheering him on. Her incentive to potty training was earning Hot Wheels cars. She has a whole case put them in, although currently they're residing in her purse.

Next up was Thomas the Train. I don't understand the appeal, but we literally watched Thomas the Train all weekend. She is enamored by him, wants to read books about him all the time, knows all the train names. She's obsessed.

So, I was part of a gift exchange with my fellow moms on CafeMom. I mentioned that Avery had said "Cinderelly" a couple times, hoping that the girly girl inside her would catch on. Oh man!

Cuteness overload!!

It also came with high heels which she wears and clink clink's all around. SO adorable! Her gift also came with a pair of jammies. 

They were 3T and falling off her, but she insisted on wearing them to bed. 

The hope of having a girly girl is still there! She did all the modeling herself. Now obviously I will love her no matter what. But it's nice to know I still have buying power for pink, bows and dresses. Shes got her sugar, spice and everything nice!

*isn't she cute?!*

Happy Tuesday!
