Fashion sense

It's starting already. She's 5. I thought it would take longer. But there's a lot in her closet that I bought last season that she won't wear. Blue jeans aren't soft enough. The snug, stretch-knit leggings are "too tight," and she just doesn't like overalls. The overalls I can still talk her into.

It's dresses she really likes which makes me happy. Most girls stop wanting to look like girls around 9 and don't want to look like girls again until at least 18. Sad.

So I told her she could pick out some of her clothes this coming Spring, with my approval of course. I will pick out the remaineder alone simply because I think shopping together will be time consuming. She will have to learn slowly that she can't have everything she likes, so shopping will be a lesson for her. Some glitter but no "Girl Power" stuff.
