Toddlers and Tiaras

Last weekend, in the car, I received my first compliment from Emilia. We were on our way to Dana's baby shower and my hair was down...this is very unusual as it's pretty much ALWAYS in a pony tail. Well, Emilia noticed this and said ever so sweetly from the backseat, "Pretty hair, Mommy." I replied with a, "Thank you, Honey!" and smiled to myself for about the next mile or two.

Tonight, on our stop at Target to pick up some milk, I also picked up a fun little Barbie Glamour Girl Set for Emilia...some things you just can't resist... The set came with a cell phone, sunglasses, a flashy ring, bracelets and a BLONDE WIG complete with little hair clips! I wanted Emilia to be able to feel what it's like to have some long, locks of her own. It took a little convincing to get her to let us put the wig on, but once it was on...she couldn't get enough of her BEAUTY PAGEANT reflection in the mirror! She was a perfect little beauty queen, waving when asked and "loving the camera". She had us laughing so hard our stomachs hurt!

Not sure exactly WHAT is on her head...

Giving us some great smiles!

Too cute! I can't wait to see her (and you guys too, of course) next weekend! She's looking like such a toddler now. Her and Ben will have a blast together, I'm sure!
