My 3 year old and I were in the mall the other day and as we pass by every store that is playing music she peeks in and says "they're dancing in there!" We keep walking and every store we pass that has music she calls the "dancing store." Then we come to EXPRESS. With their brightly colored front window that displayed a very sassy little spring number that I only could dream of wearing 15 years ago, and its accessorized with a bright pink wedges. This is the point that she completely stops and turns to the window with a look like a light from heaven was shining down on this outfit and says "Momma, I LOVE those shoes!" Then she sees the shoes in the other window and says, "Oh I Love those more! Those are fun dancing shoes momma!" Of course little does she know that those will be THE most uncomfortable dancing shoes ever but honestly, my motto has always been that if they are cute, a little discomfort is worth it!
Anyways~ then I catch her in a mirror at her grandmas house and she has a make-up wedge and she is ever so carefully pretending to put her make-up on and she is being very diligent for 3 and for not actually having any make-up! It was then that I stared into that beautiful little girl in that mirror and saw 10-15 years into the future. I saw her all dressed up and sitting at a vanity in her bedroom getting all dolled up to go out with her friends or a boy and I realized that is really going to be coming soon. All too soon! I only hope that she will still look at me like a superhero at that time and tell me "I love you momma."
Yes, I know I'm delusional but hey one can wish and I'll let you know as soon as I return from never never land!
