My Daughter, The Fashionista

Johnny has never been the kind of kid who really cares what he wears. I mean, yes sometimes he wants to wear snowboots in August and sometimes insists that a certain sweatshirt "feels funny," but for the most part, he'd happily get dressed in a paper sack.

My first clue that Maureen wasn't going to be the same way was when we walked into Payless some time last winter and she shouted "SHOES!" and ran towards the shelves.

Last week, I watched the two of them sit on the floor, playing trains. Johnny wore jeans and a t-shirt. Maureen wore a pair of frilly pink shorts, the top to her jammies, a tutu, a red velvet slipper on one foot and a bear slipper on the other, and Johnny's bike helmet.

Today, she let me pick out her dress, but then she chose her own accessories.

Here she is, sporting the belt to Johnny's construction set slung around her neck like a necklace, the bear slippers, and the hat we got at the circus.


If you look closer, you can see she also opted to take her purse along while walking her baby.




Baby, however, is naked. I guess there's only room for one fashionista in this household!
