A couple of weeks ago, Claire wanted to
dress herself and put on make-up.
This is not an unusual request.
Normally, she dons a princess dress-up
or ballet outfit, but this day was extra special.
On paper, it all should coordinate,
yet something is not quite right.
The navy blue sunflower shirt and navy blue
sunflower socks match (true)
sunflower socks match (true)
The denim skirt does go with navy blue (true)
The green and white polka dot leggings

green around the sunflower (true)

green around the sunflower (true)
And the sparkle silver eyeshadow does match
the sparkle silver shoes (true)
Where did it go wrong? For Claire, nowhere.
This is the ultimate in four year old fashion.
She is a trend-setting diva amongst her peers.
And yes, she has a mom who took her out for
a day of errands dressed like a beauty queen.
Child abuse or ultimate child love?
I guess it depends on how old you are.
