If you let me be a princess....

PINK!  Pink!  Pink!   We've been working on our colors and this is the only one we can be sure Eliza knows.  And trust me, I had nothing to do with it.  I really don't know how this happened but I am not going to be too resistant to the "all things pink & sparkly princess thing" -- mostly, because I am certain it will result in some kind of karmic backlash.  However, some balance would be nice -- warrior princess, maybe?   

This weekend E insisted on getting this.  She didn't.


She did however get these.

If you have a second check out Peggy Orenstein's blog post.  I do think the contradictions will always be there so it's all how we frame it for our children.  And on a side note, I am very proud that when I had the opportunity to hire some extremely talented people to work with, I chose the woman who was in charge of those memorable Nike ads.  We make a difference where we can.
