girly girly girl

I was not an overly girly child, never really played with dolls, liked reading and cooking and doing science experiments above all else. Therefore I was rather unprepared to have a child like Helen who is the epitome of all things girly.

She plays with her dolls all. day. long. At Build-A-Bear she emphatically chose the purple sparkly bear. She constantly tries on my shoes, her favorites being my red pumps. She loves to go to Target and peruse the shoes and purses. She insists that I change her shoes several times a day, actually. Maybe this is her aunt MM coming out in her?

Anyway I do hope I figure out how to raise such a child. Maybe she will want to be a ballerina, or a cheerleader?? I am not sure I would know how to go about that, but I'll give it my best shot.
