4 Things That Made Our Girls' Day Rock

1. Piggy Tails:

I have waited so long to be able to put her hair up in pig tails!

I am still shocked that she sat still for me to do it and didn't try to pull them out.

2. Shopping:
Shopping with and for a little lady is so much fun!!
Although we really didn't "need" anything, The Mommy found an awesome deal on the most adorable red patent leather mary-janes.
Every girl needs some red patent leather shoes!
And, since we are anticipating El Niño this winter we had to get some ladybug rain boots!
I actually think that was a daycare requirement...

3. Girls' Lunch
Aunt Ami, The Mommy and E had a delicious lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. Yum!! The big girls chit-chatted while E flirted. Seriously...we met a young man named Aiden. He was super cute and right about Emmalina's age...

4. Baby Dolls
So, while The Mommy was perusing the clothing in the baby boutique, the sales lady introduced Emily to a baby doll that they had on display.
I think she knew what she was doing, as we left the store with a doll and an outfit for it.
Emily has never really responded to stuffed animals, but she must really think the doll is a baby. She was so sweet!
She told the baby "hello", stroked its face, and carried it around in the store.
I caught her giving it kisses and trying to give her bink and carrots away, later.
Oh! And when she took a nap, she put her arm around the doll to snuggle!!
Ugh, just melts my heart.
Maybe she wants to be a big sister?


Ok, this is a picture of her punting the baby off the couch.
Admitedly, we have a little bit of mothering to work on...

The baby doesn't have a name yet. And I have no idea what her name should be.

It would have to be something that Billy would never let me name a real child of ours.

So, something fanciful and ridiculously eloquent.

Ideas?
