A Question, This Halloween…..

Wondered whether to put this up because it doesn’t really give the right picture (sorry)

Of the ten thousand-and-one pictures I’ve taken of the Miss, this is the ONLY one where a confluence of timing, talking and wind direction produced this remotely catwalk-y pose (and is that a pout)? We may never see this again. So I decided to put it up after all.

Little Miss NEVER does Pretty Girl/ Princess/ Whatever. THIS is a much better portrayal of what Her Highness is like:

Runs about a lot (we’ve had fathers of boys exclaim she’s a live wire), gets her feet (and her brother’s hand-me-down Jacadi pants) wet….. Rockstar to this day has to my memory never stuck his feet in a decorative water feature. Little Miss? Doesn’t climb in, can’t tell how much of that is because both her brother and I feel strongly about it (There. Are. Signs! The water is treated), but absolutely must drop a few pebbles in. Once she stuck her (usually prettily shod – because So Help Me God I Did Birth A Girl) foot in. It’s partly the water, she loves anything to do with water, but still… We got her pool shoes because her leather-and-suede footwear were totally getting trashed by the time she was done scrabbling about for pebbles. It was carnage.

And Q: Guess what she said:

a) “As Rafiki held Simba up……..”

b) “Rock!”

c) “Wok wok wok wok….”

Only because I felt my last multiple choice was too easy 😀

Well anyway at least she mostly has to have shoes. She doesn’t like the feeling of the floor on her bare feet (except if it’s a pool. All bets are off when there’s water.) There’s still a little of Rockstar in her. She’ll briefly try on necklaces, hats or glasses, likes purses, has little interest in frilly dresses (go figure. Frills are for examining when someone else is wearing them.)

So Rockstar is Bumblebee.

What d’you think she’ll be, this Halloween?
