miss fancy pants is four years old! i've never known a child to love all the fancies as much as betsy does- all the lipsticks, eyeshadows, glitters and nail polishes. at four, she still wants to grow up and be a "lipstick girl", "rainbow and fuchsia" are her favorite colors, she spends hours a day organizing her caboodle treasures [a mashup of lol doll pieces, play makeup and miniature-sized bows she's collected + the random penny she finds here & there], she wants all the carbs all the time- fudge, sprinkle donuts, marshmallows and mac & cheese are among her favorites- and she is my absolute buddy, muse, helper and dolly. she goes wherever i go, caboodle in hand, and is by far the most dramatic, sneaky, and spotlight-seeking of our 3 girls. she sings all the time, loudly, and is an over-the-top, live life to the fullest kinda gal. i learn from her everyday, and am forever grateful for the goodness and grace she brings to our family.
about nothing on God's green earth suits her more than an lol doll birthday celebration at her favorite place in the world... "claire's at the mall!" ;)
for her preschool birthday treats, she chose frozen 2 cereal with cotton candy and chocolate milks, and chocolate hummus for dipping raspberries. i mean... she is fancy.
after-school, pre-dance sister celebration at meme's!
and in the midst of the birthday weekend, our eloise chose to flip over the couch, despite years of warnings from her parents, splitting open her forehead & requiring an ER visit that left her with a couple of stitches & a sincere promise to never do so again. never a dull moment, and never a moment taken for granted.
