ANOTHER fun filled, sunny weekend! Too bad I still haven’t finished documenting our excursion
the previous weekend.
And as you may know, I have to
go in chronological order.
Thankfully, this week looks to be pretty laid back, but once Saturday
hits….
I’ve got lots to catch up on, but until I can delve into all
the pictures we’ve taken I leave you with a picture and thought.
Nearly a year ago, Justin and I made a spontaneous purchase while walking around Costco and bought Katie this outfit.
It sat in her closet all this while, unworn, because who
needs to wear a sparkly, little tutu-like outfit around the house or to the park? Sure it’s fun, and cute, but so out of
character. It’s no secret my girls
aren’t very girlie. Is that
because their mother isn’t a fan of big hair bows and gargantuan flowers on
little girl’s heads? Or could it
be their nature and personality?
Have I stripped them of that femininity because that’s my
preference? I suppose it’s a
nature vs. nurture question. Don’t we all like to claim our children’s positive attributes as results of our skillful parenting (nurture) and blame any of those less pleasing
characteristics as being out of our control, ingrained in their genetic, god-given
make-up (of course from the spouses DNA).
Just a thought…
I actually think my kids are pretty darn perfect just as
they are.

I don't know...little Miss Katie seems pretty excited about her froo-froo girlie dress. Maybe she IS girlie, but just doesn't have any tutus to put on to show her girlieness. (Childrens place or Old Nay usually has some for cheap.)
She is adorable! Love, mom
