Sydney style

After spending the day with her brother and dad, Sydney apparently felt the need to connect with her feminine side. Suddenly the Tinkerbell pop-it beads that she has basically ignored since last June are THE coolest toy ever. Whoever suggested diamonds are a girl's best friend clearly doesn't know what appeals to my little girl.

Two necklaces, three bracelets and a ring later, she was at last satisfied with her bling. (Or perhaps she recognized she was out of beads.)


Be sure to take note of the totality of the ensemble. The layered pajama look was a compromise. Sydney felt she absolutely needed a nightgown with ruffled edge. Mommy knew she absoltely needed to wear something warmer so she wouldn't wake in the middle of the night when she kicked off the blankets and her legs grew cold.



And thus was the origin of what will surely become the hot new look among the preschool crowd: Tinkerbell nightie over Elmo flannel jammies. With jewelry of course. And don't forget the "ballerina" slippers.

If anyone ever suggests I'm influencing her style choices, I will present these photos as evidence to the contrary.
