For a very long time things were going well. She had no interest in dolls, she tore out any hair-clip and no one dared to buy her baby-pink clothes as they knew I would never let her wear them.
Well, now when she is a girl of two with her own opinions and knows what is expected of a girl her age, this has changed.
She has not turned into a small princess wanna-be, and she still takes her cuts and bruises better than most boys, but there are other things I had not foreseen.
1. Her new obsession with Hello Kitty. H&M has a lot of clothes with the face of the cute Kitty. I have nothing against that as such, but now Little H can spot the cute Kitty everywhere (and so do I), on small buckets on the beach, handbags, hair-clips, t-shirts and so on.
She squeals "Kitty!"whenever she sees her. Poor girl has only one pair of tights with the cat, and I doubt it will be a lot more...
2. Make-up
When I found teethmarks in my Dior lipstick I knew it was time to give it up to the new lady of the house. She does not use it on the lips, but smears it on her eyelids.
The other day I found her with my Touché Éclat (concealer) up her nose. Without the tip on. I am not a professional make-up artist, but can ensure you that neither lipstick or concealer is being used in this way by me.
3. Nail-polish
Her latest beauty-trick is pink Chanel nail-polish on her toes. Got to admit that the girl has taste. Love the colour. I have to confess that it was I applying it for her, but she insisted and her toes were very cute with the polish on. She now goes around wiggling her toes singing :"pink, pink, pink".
I am sure there are more examples.
I forgot to tell about the pony tail. Little H has short blond baby-hair, but the other day she found an elastic band and tried to make her little strands of hair into a pony-tail. Not managing herself I decided to help the frustrated girl. I managed to make a little pony-tail the size of a small make-up brush. To show her I took a photo with my phone.
When she saw herself she said with a wide smile: "Julie" over and over again. Well, she pronounced it: "Julle", but I instantly knew she meant that now she had a ponytail just like Julie from the nursery.
So now the question is: Mamma K, does Julie wear your lipstick as eye-shadow too?
Just asking as Little H can definitely not have gotten the pony-tail idea from myself as the hair is quite short.
Hehe, jeg kjenner meg så igjen i det du sier. Vi skulle ikke ha rosa ting, og ihvertfall ikke noe prinsesse og andre ting med Hello Kitty på og gudene vet hva annet vi MÅ kjøpe... du har vel sett åssen det har gått... jeg er jo tvers igjennom en rosa-mamma blitt, som forøvrig er også hennes favorittfarge. Men prinsesser og hello kitty har vi klart å styre unna... enn så lenge...
ReplyDeleteAngående sminkingen... Tiddy er så forfengelig! "shmikke" sier hun hver gang hun ser den turkise pungen min.. og det er til tross for at jeg sminker meg svært sjeldent! Når det kommer til neglelakk har hun også oppdaget dette, og står med hånden frem og spør så pent "jeg få?".. Så den siste uken har hun gått med glitrende negler og vært så stolt :)
Jenter er nok jenter, uansett hvordan vi ønsker å former de, og veien til sitt seg finner dem helt klart på egenhånd :)
Det er jo litt morsomt også da, og jeg skal ikke nekte jenta rosa av en prinsippsak. Det sniker seg inn litt både her og der.
ReplyDeleteMå innrømme at etter dette bloginnlegget så ble en rød, hvit og rosa tunika med små Kitty'er på innkjøpt. Sammen med røde bukser og rosa sokker, så ble hun ganske kul altså.
Jeg hadde ingen ide om at hun visste hvilken farge som var rosa engang, men hun er veldig flink til å utpeke alt rosa, til tross for at jeg ikke har noe rosa i huset, minus neglelakk og kanskje en strikkejakke....
