Pinkalicious

Grace is developing her own sense of style. Recently, she has become very opinionated on what she will be wearing each day! (Amazingly, she continues to choose tank tops to wear recently -- mind you, it is November in Northern Illinois . . . brrrr!)

We went to the mall this weekend. I had coupons that were going to expire. As we looked at the various choices for outfits, Grace would -- with a very definite and decisive tone -- tell me specifically which items I could purchase for her, and which items were absolutely unacceptable. As she instructed me on each item, I noticed a pattern . . . anything pink was a "yes," anything that was not pink -- well, there was no way.

Once I notice this pattern, I asked Grace about why she was choosing certain clothes over other clothes, to which she proudly responded, "because it's pink!" My little girl has decided that, if it's not pink, she's not wearing it!

Now I understood why daddy was so frustrated when he tried to dress the kids for preschool! And why several of the outfits that I had chosen for Grace were thrown on the side of the room, no longer folded yet apparently not worn.

Yes, Grace has decided that she will only wear pink . . . oh, and she will wear anything "Hello Kitty" also!
