Zebra Princess

While we were shopping last weekend, Dean took the older kids to Barnes and Nobles while Brooklyn and I went to hit all the clearance racks at all the kid stores. I have never just taken Brook by herself to shop. It was really fun. We were at Gymboree and I hear this little voice "Mom, Look it's a Zebra Princess. I want to be a Zebra Princess. Please, Can I be a Zebra Princess?" She is standing next to me holding the corner of this Zebra Jumper.(For anyone that does not know, she loves animals, any animal~she did not get that from me!) So I dug through the rack to find a top to go with it and we were lucky enough to find hair clips. She has worn a combination of that outfit three times this week. Every time she sees it coming out the laundry she says "Yah, My Zebra Princess, Can I wear it?" I think one of my favorite things about this age is that she knows she is a princess, not that just mom and dad think she is one. In her eyes she is truly a princess.

Kylie was two months older than Brook when she was shopping at Old Navy with me and saw this skirt and said "Mom, I really like that, can we buy it? I thought it was cute that they were close to the same age when they found their first outfit they really liked with out my help. It is so fun to watch them grow and see them develope their own sense of style and their own personality. (it's fun most of the time, I do have those times I would rather no one had an opinion!)
