Princess Sparkle

In honor of Riis's birthday, I got out a new outfit I've been saving for her, a sweet little brown sweater dress with a bright pink flower and colorful stripes. We were in front of the big mirror over her changing table, and she cooed with delight when I pulled it over her head, smiling at her reflection and pumping her arms up and down with excitement.

But as I tried to fasten the buttons and push her arms through the sleeves, I realized it was waaay too big for her. She looked like a baby playing toddler dress-up.
So I took it off and put her in another dress and as she stood up, she caught her reflection in the mirror. She looked down at her outfit and started sobbing. Literally standing there sobbing at the mirror because she didn't like her dress.

SHE IS ONE.

This next year is going be tough.
