Sugar and spice and everything nice...

Kayla loves being a girl and doing all the things girls do. She loves to primp. She loves clothes and shoes. She even wants me to put nail polish and make-up on her. She tries to be just like Mommy. If Mommy puts on nail polish, she wants it on her nails too. The same goes for make-up. I paint her little toenails pink all the time but that's as far as I let the make-up go. I think 19 months old is a bit young for her to have a Mary Kay party!

Her hair is finally long enough for barrettes and ribbons and ponytails... I am THRILLED! I love fixing her hair and dressing her up. It is so fun and she is so cute. It's an added thrill that she loves it too. She isn't like so many little girls, fighting tooth and nail, while their moms try to fix their hair. She sits very still and cooperates completely. The only problem is that she constantly wants to see what I am doing, which makes putting a ponytail on the back of her head pretty challenging. Still, over the weekend, I was able to put up her first ponytail in the back. I was inspired and encouraged by my mom who was the first one to put up Kayla's hair. She put it in a cute ponytail right on the top of Kayla's head last week. It was adorable. Anyway, I got the ponytail and barrettes in and then Kayla posed for pictures. It was so cute.

Later on when we went out to the grocery store, everyone made a fuss over her. I won't lie. I ate it up! She did too. She was a little ham.

I can see now understand the old saying about little girls being made of sugar and spice and everything nice. Kayla definitely is!!!
