It seems that the tomboy in Lillie is slowing being pushed out by the girlie girl side of her. She is into purses, makeup, hair accessories and for the first time yesterday, we discussed clothing. I was going to drop her at my parents' for the afternoon and do some shopping so we were talking in the car on the way over. That is the BEST time to talk to Lillie...she is non stop chatter about anything and everything in the car. Makes me wonder what she tells my parents when she rides with them! So we were talking about Christmas and wish lists when she tells me that the new girl in her class, Briella, "dresses cute everyday!" Without hesitation she goes on to tell me that she has the cutest shirts, and is just so cute. She then tells me that she would rather have cute clothes for Christmas now, instead of toys, because, "well, you can wear clothes and toys, just sit there!"
As a Mom who LOVES shopping more than anything, can I tell you how happy I was? I went straight to Gymboree (which I never would have done before...pricey pricey pricey!) and found an entire outfit, right down to the hair bows and cute-sy boots all on clearance. And it's CATS, no less. Lillie will pee her pants when she sees this ensemble. Cats, cute shirt, matching hair barrettes and new black boots (which are also her newest favorite things....SHOES!) I almost want to give it to her early so she can wear it Christmas Eve, but I will try to refrain.
Christmas with kids is the best, isn't it?

OH no Julie! Your little girl is going to bankrupt you!
My Lily has to go with me to pick out clothes.
She does. She has an ever loving opinion and she likes to shop.
She loves shoes, and make-up.
So I have a good little shopping future too!
Hooray for girls!
