The Apple Doesn't Fall Far

This morning was Sophie’s first day of pre-K outfit selection, and let me tell you - the girl has OPINIONS. Three perfectly good outfits were rejected with the kind of dramatic flair I thought she wouldn’t develop for at least another decade. “This one makes me look like a baby, Mama.” “These colors don’t match my eyes.” WHERE DOES SHE GET THIS STUFF?

After forty-five minutes and what looked like a tiny tornado had hit her room, she finally emerged victorious in her chosen ensemble. And you know what? She looked adorable. More importantly, she felt confident and ready to take on the world (or at least pre-K).

Marcus just looked at me and started laughing. “Wonder where she gets the fashion perfectionism from?” I have no idea what he’s talking about. None whatsoever. But if my daughter is going to inherit my particular brand of getting-ready chaos, at least she’s starting with good taste.
