Just wrote a bit about that kind of anxiety- I’m always particular about how she looks but I too think Sophie is adorable. And I have to say I love my daughter’s glasses. And what’s with the hair- my daughter is 12 now and she actually gets greasy hair- yecchhhh, within like 2 days of washing it. sigh.
You make me giggle- a bit painfully but giggle nonetheless!

I’m with krlr, I think Sophie looks adorable.

But I have to admit that I have very little fashion sense myself.

Oh the hair. The hair is a nightmare.

I like to think I’m not materialistic and that whatever the kids want to wear will be fine by me- but it’s been an ongoing battle with my so-called “typical” kid to not have her go to school looking like a homeless person since she was about 18 months old. So far Abbers hasn’t shown a huge preference in what she wears so we have been able to control that arena. I know that will come to an end some day soon though. For me it’s always been the hair. I don’t want Abby to have “institutional hair”. Lord help me the day she asks for a short shag and I have to tell her no- that’s not cool.

Think Sophie looks adorable in her track suit!!! When out shopping, look around, there are soooo many cute track suits and it doesn’t have to be the ones you think about when you think 70′s track suit. I know what Sophie is getting for her b-day…. a track suit!! LOL!!!

Oh how I love your posts. I have some of the same hang-ups where my son (with Ds) is concerned…no corduroys, no sweatpants with elasticated cuffs, only cool sneakers and I am forever cleaning his constantly smeary glasses. I also torture him much more frequently with nose wiping because I am much more sensitive to him having a dirty face than my daughter.

We just signed up for a Young Athletes program for 2-7 year olds. I love that my typically-developing daughter can participate with my son.

I wish I had the guts to wear a matching track suit…as hideous as they may be, they are comfortable. The patent leather sneakers crack me up!!!

re: greasy hair- have you discovered dry shampoo yet? It is aaaamaaazing!

Oh Kris, you have no idea how much your comment means to me! THANK YOU for lurking — and for de-lurking (my new favorite term).
