priming a princess

We dressed Britton in her new Mountaineers onesie on Saturday and hung around most of the morning playing. Then, the hub and I ran out (not sure of the time but the hub was muttering under his breath that OU had just kicked off) to Target and got Britton some toys. See, she's been pulling my necklaces off and putting them on herself, so I wanted to get her some of those cheapy plastic beaded necklaces. And some stretchy bracelets. And a purse because she's been trying to put bags of any kind on her arm like a purse. We scoured the accessory section, kid section (where we did find a snazzy Hello Kitty purse), and the Halloween section. No necklaces. Then a light bulb went off and I found them in the "party" section for favors. Back to the Hello Kitty purse. I loathe obnoxious character items, and all things glitter when it comes to Britton's things. The character issue is mainly because cartoon character clothing is usually pretty ugly. Let's be honest. And I can't stand glitter because it ends up coating everything in the house. Plus, it just looks itchy. But we went ahead with it because it wasn't glitter, but instead metallic thread.

I will also add that necklaces, bracelets, and a purse were not enough. Oh no. We also went to Journey's Kidz and found the most awesome pair of PINK Converse low-tops and were in love. The hub was pushing for some DC shoes too, but we weren't even sure of her shoe size, so just the Converse.

And wouldn't you know it when we got home that girl was tickled pink! Check out this excited gal covered in her bling and wearing her new shoes!
