Detective Mary Frances

I bought Mary Frances this cute trench coat, and she loves wearing it because it makes her look like a detective!I just couldn't resist taking her picture before I sent her off to school the other day! She is so cute! And, I love her taste for the fancier things like adding a ribbon to a regular headband! She is so creative -- reminds me of her Aunt Jessie!

Fancy Nancy Day

One of Mary Frances' favorite characters is Fancy Nancy! She loves taking ordinary things and making up an outfit that is FANCY or EXTRAORDINARY, as Nancy would say! In school, they have been learning how to use fancy words in their writing. So, today, the kindergarten had a Fancy Nancy and Posh Prince Soiree! You can only imagine how excited Mary Frances was to wake up this morning and get dressed. In fact, she was finished at 6:15!! This is Mary Frances with one of our neighbors!
We put her hair in a French Twist, let her wear my high heel gold sandals, and tied them on with ribbons! She wore her tutu on top of a nice skirt with a shirt detailed in ribbons. Of course, she also wore a tiara and jewelry all topped off with powder sparkles EVERYWHERE!! They had so much fun!

Dresses

Mary Frances LOVES dresses! Apparently, it is very important to her to look nice when she goes places. I'm sure I have encouraged that by making sure her bow is in place and that she does look nice, but she is branching out a little!! Now, she is on me and what I'm wearing.

After our tea party last week, she told my mom that I looked kind of pretty but not REALLY pretty because I was wearing pants and not a dress. I do wear pants a lot, but I always look nice and appropriate, but apparently Mary Frances thinks I should also be wearing dresses.

So, last night she came in my closet as I was getting ready and said, "Where are you going mommy?"

I told her I was going to the church for a rehearsal. I was wearing jeans, a sweatshirt, and a hat - something she would NEVER wear!

So she said,"I suppose you should wear a dress." Where did she get "suppose" from? Anyway, I informed her that it was only a rehearsal and that I was wearing my jeans and hat. Then she said, "Well you could at least wear a skirt to church!"

So, I disappointed her last night, but I let her help me pick out my clothes this morning. She wanted a dress for me, but it wasn't right for the occasion. She said, "Well can I have that dress when I get older?"

I then changed into a skirt with tights and boots. She loved the outfit - especially the boots. She checked with me to be sure I wasn't changing again and wanted to be sure I was keeping the boots and earrings on!!

What a character! What have I created?? Jessica says she is definitely related to her - the fashion queen!
