My kid has her own style
Forgive me mother, but I have (with great reluctance) succumb to Annaliese's desire to dress herself. She's becoming fiercely independent and I've lost the will to fight. Yes, this was what she really wanted to wear to church....and so...I let her. But the shoes were new and without sand which is more than I can say of her nice church shoes!
I had picked out both of their church outfits as usual, (two different outfits, but matching Gymboree line..Brown with Blue dots). She decided to override my decision with this outfit and also went into Maddie's room to pick Maddie a similar polka dotted dress for Maddie. I guess she's learned mom's M.O. The girls must match.
And this was earlier in the week. I told the girls to get their suits on so we could go play at the splash park. This is what came out of the bedrooms. The good news is, she's following directions.
I have lots of photos from vacation. I wonder if I'll ever get around to them. Any spare time I have, I've been taking reading on my new kindle ap for my phone. Me likes. Since my vacation two weeks ago (to Pasadena, Santa Monica and Annaheim) I've read Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice. For some reason it's easier to read on the phone ap, probably because I do a lot of my reading in bed and like that it's illuminated.
I also like that I can just prop it up in the bathroom when I do my hair and make up and easily read there too.
More updates to come.
