Tallulah Belle

....now outweighs my four year old...by 15 lbs.

Tootie's Progressive Fashion Sense...

My child, without a doubt, has her own sense of style....

Tootie's New "grown-up" Bedroom

A few months ago, Tootie walked up to Beau and said, "Daddy, we have a problem".  When Beau asked what the problem was, he was informed that Tootie's room was in the wrong color. When we moved in, I panted her room a deep blue with cartoon koi all over the walls (it matched her crib bedding). So, what color does she want now?  Pink and Purple.  Oy.  Below are the final results of our month long redo.  Beau did the crown, chair rail and even the taller floor boards.  Everyone seems to be happy with the results.

 

Perspective.

I am LOVING these....

My fear...

...is that this will start to happen with Tootie. I don't feel prepared to battle with body image issues...especially from a 4 year old. It just makes me want to cry that our precious girls (and boys) are grappling with this issue earlier and earlier.
