If ever there’s been a case for putting a mirror somewhere near the door you exit from at home, this is one. It’s a wonder I haven’t gone to the grocery store sporting a tiara and sparkly plastic clip-on earrings before. I think the 2nd grader would have still hopped in the car with me at pick-up, but I can’t be so sure about the Kindergartener. Things of this sort mortify her. In fact, she’s still debating whether or not I can join her for lunch in the cafeteria on her birthday…
Ironically, though, she thinks nothing of her own liberal use of the play make-up.
She’s quite a fan of the blush. And, this is what she wears when I tell her to limit it to “just a little bit.” I feel certain we’re going to need some sort of intervention when this crew gets to the teenage years.
For now, though, I’d like to relish the early childhood years. And, yesterday was the Toddler’s first day of her toddler class at the preschool. She was adamant that she needed to accessorize with bracelets and hair clips {and baby “Bob”}.
She seemed to have a great day aside from electing not to take a nap during rest time. She greeted me by saying, “We have to be quiet because my friends are sleeping.” Yes, yes we do. And, hopefully once the excitement of the new class wears off she might find herself among those sleeping friends.
