I was a very girly girl who grew up, married her prince, and had two very boyish boys. Now don't get me wrong; I'm happy that my boys are into cars, sports, and all things boy. But when the ultrasound technician reported to me that my third baby would be a girl, my mind filled visions of dresses, pink, and dolls. Shortly after that it struck me, that my daughter would have two brothers; and I realized that I my sweet one might end up as quite the tomboy. To my delight (no offense to tomboys), besides the fact that my girlie can produce a pretty decent gun shot sound, I have one seriously girly little lady on my hands. And as her third birthday approached, Adriana had very set ideas on what it would look like. She wanted a princess birthday, more specifically a Cinderella birthday. So a princess birthday we gave her. She counted down the day for months, and I asked her wishes for many details of the day:
What color decorations? Pink.
What color cake? Pink.
What flavor of ice cream? Pink.
What flavor of cake? Chocolate. (That's my girl!)
oh - i love this post. and as a mom with two boys and a little girl. it def hits home :)
