So yesterday Maddy brought her Mr. Potato head earrings to me. They are pretty flexible and just hook on the ears of Mr. Potato head. Well, I put them on my ears and she loved it. So I took them off me and put them on her. She was so excited and proud that SHE got to wear earrings!! She kept touching them and shaking her head. I asked if she wanted to see them in the mirror and she said she did, so she ran to the bathroom to look. She screeched with delight when she saw them on and took no move to take them off. Later that night she found my headband and tried to put it on her head so I put it on for her and again, she made no attempt to take it off and definitely seemed to like having it on. You could tell by the glint in her eye that she thought she was a 'big girl and very pretty wearing her headband".

I think it's pretty close to dress up time! I'm sure she'll enjoy that.

But then there's today.....
And I am reminded that as much as she likes to play dress up and loves being dolled up, she also likes to get messy.
