Fashion Plate

Skyla has recently taken a big interest in her hair and her clothes, which I'm trying to keep in balance but still encourage her to be a "girl." :-) Her idea of matching is if two things contain the color pink in them, they "match" - no matter what the shade or pattern. She also has just mastered completely getting herself dressed from top to bottom, so I've had to set aside some of my perfectionist personality and let her walk around with her waist through a leghole of her panties, or her hair sticking straight up in the air, or bright princess socks with a cute little outfit. :-) Each day when she comes down from her room after getting herself dressed, I brace myself for the look of the day!

Here's a particularly good day - stripes, polka dots and floral, topped off with Snow White socks. Note that all have pink in them, so they "match."

Brody had to get in on the modeling action. He is on a "blue" kick. Loves blue, anything blue, and if Sky has something that's blue he has to have it, because "blue is for boys."

Artwork is a huge part of our family, for obvious reasons given Daddy's occupation. Brody has been banned from markers till after the baby is born, so I don't have to get down on all fours on the floor to pick up all the caps that he throws across the room (mean mommy, I know). So he is using chalk... :-)
