Scottie and Nelly both like to sit with me and page through a Vogue and talk about the clothes. I am in total heaven. They especially like to smell the fragrance adds and to have me tear out the pages with their favorite dresses. Most recently, Nelly chose a Vera Wang ad and Scottie went for a really lovely but subdued black Carolina Herrara with large flowers on it.
The girls spend most every day totally in costume. Scottie, of course, wears her rainbow “Tutu Princess” as she has every day since June. Nelly generally wears one princess dress underneath her Ariel Mermaid costume (Nelly is wild about swimming and wild about mermaids). When they get to Blue Igloo they go straight to the costume and dress themselves.
They also love watching me get dressed and out on make up. They try on the make up and wear my shoes* and jewelry. I love sharing with them. They have a really great sense of style if that is possible.
*They are excellent at walking in heels and wear those little plastic heels and actually went trick or treating all over the neighborhood and up and down all the stairs in the heels. Talk about athleticism….
