goooooodness gracious, where did our tiniest baby go?!
so, just yesterday, as i threw a messy fishtail braid into my own hair, little miss maddalena requested, for the first time, a set of pigtail braids aaaall her own! [inspired by princess anna, of course. what isn’t?! i mean, really. ;)]. and so, she sat in front of the mirror excitedly as i braided, going over her princess plan out loud. “…and i’m gonna put on my booow shooooes!” she has this special little tone she uses when she’s listing out a plan, and i love. it. so. much.
that precious girl could not have been more proud of those braids, and she pranced around practically the whole day, looking oh so grown up! naturally, i melted a thousand times. then daddy came home and told her over and over how pretty she looked, and okay, is there anything sweeter than daddies and little girls? it’s kiiiinda my fav.
somebody mentioned to me a couple of months ago that they felt like when their little girl hit 2 1/2 years, that it was a big leap in growth, and she just seemed more grown up. so, now that maddalena is three days away from officially being 2 1/2, i totally have to agree! suddenly her legs are long and skinny, her thoughts are deep and layered, and i just can’t get enough of all of it. best age ever! aaas i say for every age, of course. 🙂
i sure love you, maddalena rose!
omg, i love those little braids! it's going to be so fun doing her hair!
i am excited, and she loves it so much! now, if ooonly she'd let me brush the tiny tangles out without committing to anna braids every time! 😉
The first time I could braid Letty's hair it was so special! I had waited forever for the growth and then it was like a dream come true to be braiding MY daughter's hair and then poof! Big girl. That's what I had.
And of COURSE it would be anna. 😉
right! it magically makes them so much older looking! it is the craziest!
So so cute! Just read Kaitlyn that book before her nap. Raising tiny princesses is just so much fun!
