I have lots of purses and bags. I'm a sucker for a cute and/or fashionable purse. (I took two purses to NYC earlier this month. Along with 4 pairs of shoes. My husband does not understand.) My ideal bag would be large enough to carry my laptop and related gadgets, along with my wallet and lipstick and phone and stuff without killing my shoulder. I'm been looking for a long time.
Maureen has apparently inherited the purse gene (which I suspect I got from my mom). Lately, we can't leave the house without her bringing a bag along.
Her current fave is this pink backpack, which she got from my mom, embellished with a blue cat.
But what, you may ask, does a 4-year-old need to carry a purse for? She doesn't have keys. Or a wallet. Or cosmetics beyond cherry chapstick.
So let's take a look.
In this bag, I find:
2 decorate-your-own Princess mirrors
Bella the stuffed cat
2 journals (spiral bound notebooks from AC Moore with princesses on the cover)
3 markers
2 pens
a pink My Little Pony
2 brushes for the pony's hair
1 ghost bear beanie baby
1 Elmo phone
2 playing cards from a "Squiggly Worms" game
a plastic book that came with the pony
1 plastic yellow hat for Bella the stuffed cat to wear in the rain
an index card with the names of her classmates written on it
1 hat from a Zhu Zhu pet
1 doll bottle
1 superhero figure (and it says 1984 on the back, so I think it was mine)
1 plastic parrot
1 smushed looking bear/monkey/cat Happy Meal toy
There you have it, people.
Just the essentials.

Well, if you get stuck in traffic with her, she won't be bored.
My younger daughter had the purse gene too. What she carried in it was her soother. For far too long.
