Our Little Girl

So the other night as I was trying to fall asleep but being kept awake from the baby using my insides as his personal gymnasium, I realized that Chloe and I will be outnumbered once he comes in August. I don't mind at all, but I was starting to think of how much Chloe is such a little girl. I know that's a weird statement, because well, obviously she is. But Jed had made a comment earlier that even with all the boy toys and things the kids like to do she really is a girly girl down deep.

She's our little daredevil and loves to play hard and rough. She plays with all the boys and fits in perfectly and has a blast with them. But she still has her quieter "girl" moments. She loves to wear dresses and skirts (which she'll insist I put on her and then twirls around saying she's a princess), she loves accessories and make up (she's always trying to get me to put my make up on her) and her "pretty toes", she loves her baby dolls and of course loves to sing and dance, and her favorite thing right now are her hot pink sandals and Hello Kitty. The sad thing is that most of her dolls and her start with Hello Kitty came from other people along with most of her dresses right now and one of the reasons I even started with accessories and dresses is because I was tired of people asking me if she was a girl or a boy without them. I still don't know where she got the princess thing from, since we don't promote princess stuff.

I think the reason I find this interesting, is because I really wasn't super "girly" until I had Chloe since I grew up the oldest with all boys. I didn't even play with dolls or Barbies and never saw why anyone would want to. If I played house, it was "Ninja Turtle house" so I could be the girl Leonardo or Donatello and we pretty much went to fight Shredder. I guess I'm hoping with our newest addition Chloe won't lose her sweet girly aspects.
