Newsflash: Ava is Girly

Posted on December 30, 2009

In case you didn’t know, the evidence in this post should be clear enough to inform you that Ava is girly.

Very girly.

Someone asked me for Christmas gift ideas for Ava. I just said “Anything girly. Makeup, dresses, jewelry, Barbies, princesses, anything like that.” The funniest thing about this is I’m a bit of a tomboy. I’m so not girly. At least I wasn’t. I begged God for a boy so that I didn’t have to deal with all the girlyness. (By the way- My spell checker is advising me that there is no such word as girly or girlyness. So, I’m adding it to the dictionary and I’m putting a picture of Ava next to it.) However, God has a sense of humor and He thought it would be hilarious if I had Ava in my life.

He, as usual, was right. It is hilarious. She makes me laugh sometimes, how girly she is. Case in point: Every day, she wears a different dress.

Sometimes, actually, most of the time it’s two or three different dresses throughout the day. She has several play dresses. She also has several dresses that I know she will never wear again, so I allow her to use them as play dresses. Like her “Wedding Dress.”

It’s actually the dress that her Uncle Dave and Aunt Lisa bought her when she was a flower girl in their wedding. Her Easter dress from last year is another one. It’s a big pink froofy tulle dress. She has several Disney dresses. Like this Cinderella dress we got for her when we went to Disney. (I know…I need to post pictures…seriously, pay attention!)

She has a dress we bought her at the Renaissance Faire, and more costume dresses. She loves it when her dresses twirl.

Confession: I do too.

Oh, and don’t forget the tutu’s.

Dear Lord, the tutus.

She has crowns and jewelry and magic wands galore.

A few years ago for Christmas, we bought her a chest that we use for her dress up stuff. I think we’re going to need a bigger chest. This isn’t even the half of it.

So, this is my daily life with Ava. I pick my battles. Some days I don’t care. Some days I tell her she has to keep her regular clothes on for at least an hour. She sleeps in them for nap time sometimes, and they work as pajamas in a pinch too.

Sweet dreams, Princess.

Oh! P.S. Notice that Gackie is not in any of these pictures? We’re working on it.
