My girly girl

Madeline has always been drawn to girly things, like purses, jewelry, hair clips, etc. She's still in the purse-carrying phase and now, she's reached a new feminine level: vanity.

This morning, Madeline entertained herself by draping a dish towel on her shoulder. I'm pretty certain she thought it was beautiful.

This was her routine:
  • walk around the house in a circle
  • stop in Mom and Dad's room to check herself out in the mirror
  • pat her hair to smooth the curls (I'm not lying; I tried to get it on video but she stopped every time.)
  • adjust the dish towel
  • walk to the kitchen
  • check herself out in the reflection of the oven door
  • adjust the dish towel
  • repeat
This went on for two hours, minus small distractions like her hippo and fridge magnets. She is sooooo entertaining to me.
