Diva in Training


At her current development stage, Megan is constantly developing her independence. She wants to do everything for herself, even if she has no clue what it entails. She'll put her own dirty diapers in the pail, pull her sippy cups off the refrigerator shelf, and even try to tie her shoes, which she woefully fails at every time. I like that she tries though. It's cute to watch her struggles.

This weekend Megan took her independence to the extreme and decided she was dressing herself. Keep in mind, it was FIVE degrees outside on Saturday. Her choice? A yellow t-shirt and a plaid skirt. I tried to get her to wear leggings underneath the skirt, but as you can see, she was having none of it. So since we were staying inside, I didn't really give a rip, so skirt it was. After she was dressed, it was her idea to add the sunglasses. Our little superstar decided those were the MUST HAVE accessory of the weekend.



On Sunday, she went with more of a Lady Gaga look. Or Casper the Friendly Ghost. Who doesn't like a nice white pantsuit-ish sort of ensemble? Of course the sunglasses were ever present.



Finally, for church Jill at least talked her into throwing a black jumper on that really brought a normalcy to the outfit. And, at the very least, another layer of warmth. Later today, Jillian was at least successful in teaching her how to wear the glasses on top of her head. Which Megan thought was HILARIOUS. It's amazing what makes her laugh sometimes. But she was a big fan. And so were we.

Was the padlock to use in case someone tried to take the sunglasses??? Too cute!

Oh, the first outfit is my favorite! A little bit retro, and the purse is adorable. I'm not sure about the padlock, but I'm sure she had her reasons!

it's time to start playing dress up! reva got TOMS of dress up clothes for Christmas, and we play it EVERYDAY. I'm always surprised by what she decides to put on. You can get ALL kinds of cheap clothes at the kids second hand stores, and Megan will love playing with them. It will keep you all laughing nonstop!!! Of course, don't forget that shoes and purses are a VERY IMPORTANT part of the dress up game...
