Little Bit-O Leah

Leah has been on a roll lately! I love the little sayings that come out of her mouth.

For example...

After all the gifts were opened on Christmas, we said, "Holy Cow! Santa must really love you!" To which she promptly replied (with her hand on her hip), "Well, we ARE good little children!" Yes, you are!

On Christmas morning, she had on her new Tinkerbell shirt, jeans, and pink Converse. After I was done with her hair, she had a signature "pouty look" on her face. I asked her what was wrong. She said, "I don't like my 'styling' today!" I pushed, "Your styling?" "Yes! These pants, this shirt, my hair, these shoes. I. Don't. Like. My. Styling!" Fire that "stylist" immediately!

This little gem happened a few months ago. She was all dressed in a darling skirt with a white polo shirt. I went to her room to see her sitting at her Ariel vanity. She had her head resting on her hands with tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked at herself pathetically in the foil-like mirror. "Leah! Why are you crying, honey? What happened?" She says, "Mom, I look handsome in this shirt." "Handsome?" "YES! Handsome like a BOY!" Apparently, a polo shirt looks too much like a boy...even with pink stitching. I was trying my best not to crack up as I helped her change clothes.

Oh boy, I'm in for a real treat when this one is 17! Don't worry, I'm up for the challenge. I don't think any child can be as big of a nightmare (about my "styling") as I was. Right, Mom?
