I don’t know what it is about girls and pretty dresses. But when they turn about 2 years old their desire for “pretty dresses” seems to develop and just keep growing (I am making some generalizations here…I don’t know if all girls are this way, but several I know are).
And wow, by the time age 3 hits, it is a full blown obsession. One that this mama is willing to indulge to a point. We do not go out in our princess dresses to the store or to daycare. I don’t want to deal with the dresses in the car seat or the grocery store and particularly at this time of year it is just too cold. But often when we are home for the day I will allow Caitlyn to wear a pretty dress for part of the day–I just told her she had to change into pants and a shirt and she said “Now I’m MAD!” Mama, “okay, you can be mad, but I want you to put on pants and a shirt.” Reluctantly she did.
Anyway, this morning she asked for a pretty dress. I started to get one out, then remembered I had promised cousin (known as Aunt) that we would send pictures of the girls in the tutus she and a friend made them for Christmas. So, we did. The girls were thrilled to oblige! So here is part of our photo shoot (can’t compare to what Mckmama can do with photos, but they are super cute).
