Jolie Princess

Time flies. Our little Jolie Princess is 4 years old this year. I remembered that my parents used to worry if she would end up being a 'tom boy' as she didnt like to wear dresses or skirts, didn't like to tie her hair and loves activities such as soccer, skateboard,  scooter and anything involving running, climbing and jumping.

Well, she still loves to do all of those stuff that would give her grandma a heart attack, but she has also developed a softer, more girlie side. Now she loves to wear dresses, tie her hair and like many girls her age, has developed a Princess obsession.

She loves to dress up like a Princess, so she would tie a blanket around her waist, wear grown up heels and parade around, announcing that she is a beautiful princess. She loved to wear make up too! I don't let her wear mine cause I think its bad for her skin, but both her doting grandmas would let her. -_- So she would stand in front of the dresser and pat pat pat her face with the puff. She doesn't put much, you can't see any make up actually, but she would pose and fish for compliments after she finish.



My mom, being the doting grandma, even bought some fabric and made her 2 skirts so that she can play dress up. Jolie was ecstatic, and after awhile, came up with in idea to wear one and put the other on her head and pretended to have beautiful long pink hair. Funny!

It's strange isn't it? How girls would just naturally develop this vain streak. Now even at home she would demand to wear her pretty dresses, knowing full well that everyone would gasp in adoration,  exclaiming how pretty she look. It may seem silly, but if it makes her happy, why not? Besides, they grow up so fast, before long, they would have outgrown their dresses and outgrow their innocent obsessions too. I say let them play dress up, cause I'll be sad the day they find it silly.
