Fashionista

Ryan is like our little mini diva without the diva attitude.  She LOVES dressing up, wearing jewelry, and anything that is fancy.  She is so complimentary when I get dressed up for work or put on a bit more makeup than usual.  She'll say things like, "I love your beautiful dress, Mom" or "Your lip gloss is so pretty."  She notices every aesthetic detail and it's so sweet to hear her say these words.  She always give me a good laugh about the things she notices.

I had a really good laugh the other day when I picked up the girls from preschool.  It was only their 2nd day of school so I was thinking that they would have so much to tell me about their day.  We loaded up in the car and I asked how their day was and this is my conversation with Ryan. 

“Hey girls, how was your first day of preschool?”
“Um, good, but I don't like my teacher's outfit.....I want Miss Nancy to wear a dress.”
“Ryan, she needs to dress casual for school.  I thought she looked pretty today.”
“I just wish she would wear a pretty dress.”
“You can wish for that but don't tell her that you feel that way.”

I was driving down the street laughing so hard about this funny conversation.  I wanted to hear about what songs they sang or crafts that they did, but all I got was Ryan's fashion analysis of her teacher's wardrobe.  I think we are in for it with this little girl.  I really thought she would be more of a bruiser with the name Ryan, but she proves me wrong every day.
