PINK!

Emma has been very attached to the color pink lately. She has insisted that her cereal be in a pink bowl and that she uses a pink spoon to eat it and that her milk be in a pink cup. She has also insisted several times in the past week that she wear pink pants.

On St. Patrick's Day, I planned to put her green khaki pants on her. When we went upstairs after breakfast to get changed, she pulled open her shirt drawer and picked out a shirt that had a tiny green, red, and brown flower pattern on it. I thought, Great! That's going to match the pants pretty well. When I pulled out the green pants, she said, No! Pink! and quickly found a pair of pink knit pants to wear. She did not match even the slightest bit. I told myself, she's only going to daycare and it doesn't matter what she looks like. Her clothes are clean and she is happy. No need to make this a battle. The next day, I pulled out a cute dress and leggings (neither were pink) that Grammy had bought for her at the end of last year for this spring. Emma did not like it and quickly found a pair of pink pants to wear instead. Looks like our girl might be a girly girl!
