Heeeerre's........Dahlia!
It was our first really gorgeous day here last Saturday, so a perfect day to head to the park. Dahlia had discovered this little number a few days before (after Mommy had purged her closet) so this is what she chose. This dress is size 3T but she has loved this dress so much she now is calling it a tshirt/top. Well, actually she just wanted to wear the dress alone so I said "umm, honey...there may be ants and stuff in the sand - you don't want them crawling up your bum" to which she replied - well actually it was more of a look which said 'umm..Mom.......heard of leggings?....d'uh'. (Oh help me 6 years from now!!) So she whipped out the leggings, sandals, sun visor, pail and shovels and we were off!
Check out those ballet toes!
Ahh...saved by Daddy.
...and she's off again! Keep up Mom.
Now, does this happen in your house? Once Dahlia gets an outfit in her 'comfort zone' she has a really hard time getting it off. Everyday since then, as soon as she gets home from kindergarten, she whips out this little number (which she wants hanging on her door for easy access - and forget about washing it unless you can do it by the time she needs it again) and HAS to wear it. I have a hard time getting it off her now for jammies and bed. So on Wed. for afternoon snacks we had a little picnic in the front yard and of course, she's wearing the same outfit. Check back here to see how long this obsession lasts.(...and that's Daddy's hairy arm - not mine! - snitching a little treat.)
And after our snack we had a little dress-up fun.

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God.

Oh yes, my daughter's repetitive choice is her Tinkerbell costume, which isn't my choice for an outing. It's funny how kids develop a favorite and stick with it! Your daughter looks great in her favorite!
Very smart looking outfit and I totally get wearing the same thing over and over. I have to hide my daughter's dresses sometimes when I get tired of seeing the same one over and over again :-)
I'm wishing you were near Alabama because I have a feeling our girls would be a hoot together - or trouble. The dress totally works as a shirt, and you have less laundry for a while :)
Adorable!! Dahlia has some seriously great style, and I love the ballet toes on the swing.
Nice look! Maimie's favorite is the princess hooded sweatshirt.

She is too cute!! Sarah has certain outfits that she is attached to as well.....I guess it is a girl thing, because Nick could have cared less!!
Enjoy your weekend!!
