My Little Individual.......

On Saturday Faith was invited to a friends birthday party that had a "princess theme." Most of the little girls were planning on dressing like one of the Disney princesses. For those of you that know Faith by now, this really is not her "cup of tea." :) She would much rather be a "super hero" than a princess.
We talked about ideas on what she could wear and we even looked at princess costumes at the Disney store. She said she wouldn't mind dressing up as Ariel because she is a mermaid, but it wasn't long before she became distracted when she spotted the Captain Hook costume! lol The big feathered pirate hat and hook was just much more exciting!
After deciding I wasn't going to pay a fortune on a mermaid costume she probably would never wear again, we came up with the idea of wearing a tulle skirt and tights with one of her shirts. Faith liked this idea. As. Long. As she could wear her "president not princess" shirt with it!! I agreed that would be a great idea!!!!








Off to the party!!!!!!


Faith was so cute because she was concerned on whether her shirt was ok to wear to the party. She asked me if I thought her friend would be upset if she wore it. I told her I didn't think she would mind at all.
I just love Faith's thoughtfulness, spirit, and individuality!!!



(The kids are off of school this week on their Fall break. This is something new this year so I'm not use to a break so soon into the school year. I was SO ready for it though! Between the 3 different schools this year and preparing for our move I was in need of a little get away!!! Dale is taking the next few days off and we are taking a little trip to the central CA coast. Will catch up when we get back:)

Hi Colleen!!

I am so happy that you are getting a little time off and able to get away...much deserved and I am sure much needed!

Love how Faith knows just what she wants!! You are such a good Mommy to allow her to grow into her own likes and dislikes. I would probably be one of those Moms bribing my girl to wear one of the Princess outfits. lol! Both of mine seem to love the Princess thing, though.

I think the Princess outfit that Faith chose is just PERFECT and she could not look like anymore of a Princess if she tried!!

love,
Michelle

My Elisabeth was this way....always had her own ideas and never really went along with what others did....this is a very special quality and I am thankful to see this in your precious little Faith.
