Would The Kids Notice?

As we were walking out the door to take Alexis to school, she (Alexis) frantically turned around and headed back into the house.  She had that look on her face.  I thought she had to use the lady's room before we left.  She dropped her bunny and backpack on the floor, where she stood, and quickly uttered, "I want to smell pretty."  She headed straight into her room and grabbed THIS.   oooooohhhhh.....how it sparkled!  Yummy too!  Did I mention STICKY?   As she tried to open the lid and squeeze it out onto both of her wrists, I immediately grabbed it and put a dab on her lips; to add a touch of glistening shine.  Then I told her, "follow me." I scurried through my purse and found Bath & Body Works, Breathe Delight fragrance roll-on in Uplifting Tamarind Nectar.  She quickly grabbed it from me (with a smile on her face) and applied it ALL up and down her wrist forearm. I then snatched it back and added a dab to the sides of her neck and a little on her chest.  She thought about smelling good the entire drive to school.  Shortly after arriving to school, she then began to intensely think about this wonderful smell and what the kids at her school might say and think. She then realized after getting use to the smell, she could no longer smell that she still smelled pretty. I told her that she did and that the kids would notice too.  The smile on her face said it ALL!

She Said She Was Stunning

And indeed she was....... Last night, for the first time, I french braided Alexis's hair. Since her hair is so unruly, I thought I could pull her hair back into a pony tail for school the next day, with all of those pretty, soft waves. After tugging and pulling for what seemed like an eternity (to her at least) and her telling me for the umpteenth time, "your hurting me," I was done. I told her to go to the bathroom and check out her new braid.   After being in the bathroom for quite some time, I asked her if everything was alright?  She said, "Yes, I'm just fixing my hair."  When she presented herself, she said, "Don't I Look Stunning!"  She had matted her hair down around her face and forehead with water.  A slick, matted look is what she was going for.  She does this often and usually if dad wants to just get up and go.  It takes way too long to fix it the right way.  Some people just don't have the time to wait for us girls to get ready; if you know what I mean. I thought it was so adorably cute the way she fixed up her hair a bit and thought it looked stunning.  Just knowing in a few more years it will have to be fixed just right and that will more than likely take a few hours to accomplish.  It became so real to me that she is growing up way too fast.  To top off everything, she even has her 1st loose tooth.  She is so proud of that!   Aunt Harmony, what do you think about her picture portfolio and all those poses you taught her?
