We went to the Seattle Science Center today-- and so once Jordan found out she was going somewhere, she went directly into her bedroom to pick out "just the outfit". She has been going into her room and changing 3-5 times a day BEFORE noon. She just loves to put outfits together and feels so pretty when she does. She is very into dresses right now, the concession that she allows me is that if we go outside, she has to put tights on. The picture is not very clear so you can't really see the detail of her outfit but she is perfectly matched and has her "red rubies" on-- which, of course are the fantastic red glitter shoes that she wears whenever she can and often plans her entire outfit around them. She goes back and forth between wearing the beautiful dresses in the princess dress-up box and her Sunday dresses that she loves. I started out fighting her on her outfit choices, but, I have decided that there is a limited time in life that one can wear FORMAL attire to the grocery store, to Grandma's house, over to friends to play, to McDonalds, out to run errands....etc... at three, if wearing the most beautiful dress in her dress-up box is making her feel beautiful, so be it. The world will make her doubt all of those confidences soon enough, so, for today, beautiful dresses, beautiful jewlery and sparkly shoes is pure joy!
