As anyone who knows me personally is aware, individuality is extremely important to me. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I knew I was going to allow my child to express herself – no matter how different she may end up being. I could picture letting her go out in public with soccer shorts, a cowboy hat and a leotard. And in my imaginative musings, I was always very proud to have such a creative daughter.

Well, fast forward to the present.  Addie has finally reached the age that she wants to pick out her own clothes.  I usually give her two options from which to choose, any more and all I get is a wide-eyed, “uuuuhhhhhh…” But a couple of days ago I handed over the sartorial reigns. She took them and ran.

Here is a sampling of the supreme cuteness that is my daughter when mommy gets to dress her.  Here she’s walking through the Animal Kingdom at Disneyworld with her Daddy and Aunt Brookey.

Too cool for school

Check out her masterpiece below. I think I’m in for it with this kid.

One headband? Why not six?

Pink fleece pajama pants, turtleneck, Cubs shirt (she calls it her team shirt), six headbands and a Cars belt that I had just made for her.  Oh, and her comb that she uses as a harmonica.

Is being weird genetic? If so, she definitely takes after me.
