What a cutie! And your post about her reminds me so much of things my mom used to say. She was not much of a girly girl and somehow ended up with a daughter who loved dress and really, really wanted a pink room with frilly curtains.

Same here! With my 3 year sparkly girlie girl I have learned to embrace my inner drama queen. I find I like watching “strawberry” and “the ponies”. I have even gotten so far as buying a *gasp* hot pink sweater! Coming to terms with tea parties and baby dolls. Love it when she wants to play swords though.

Finding that being enlightened by a 3 year old is “lighting me up”! Enjoy yours!

You are too a girly girl. How else do you explain your fascination with silly teeny-bopper movies? :) Girly girls come in all shapes and forms. :) Besides, it’s much more interesting to be a girly girl in some ways and not a girly girl in other ways (just like Annalyn and her firefighter costume and my niece and her Spiderman pajamas:).

My mom was very disappointed in me growing up because I wasn’t such a girly girl (again, in some ways — I was girly when it came to being pouty and not outdoorsy, for instance;). I didn’t want to wear all the cute dresses and frilly tights that she wanted me to wear (you know, the ones with ruffles on the bum, sigh). And I still feel kind of uncomfortable in “girly girl” clothes now (e.g. dresses, skirts), even though I also feel pretty in them.

Embrace the pink, sparkles and the twirly dresses! I too have a girly-girl and she’s about to turn 10. Pink and red are her favorite colors. I asked her why one time and she responded, “because they’re the colors of happiness and love”. I try to be a girly-girl but I fall short most of the time but, have loved to live in her world of tea parties and doll houses. To be honest, it’s a nice break sometimes and it makes me feel good that she hasn’t been jaded yet by the ugliness of the world.
