Shaun and I have made a conscious effort to avoid gender stereotypes with Kaya. She wears monster pajamas and Star Wars t-shirts, she was Spiderman for Halloween, she plays with dinosaurs and robots, we declared a moratorium on pink, lace and anything with the word "princess" or pictures of crowns. But, I have to admit- sometimes it's really, really fun to play dress-up with my gorgeous little girly. Grandma Kim and I bought her fancy dress for Thanksgiving and got to shop for all the fun things like tights and patent leather Mary Janes and teeny headbands with satin bows. Grandma Ladda gave us a red velvet and white tulle Christmas dress with satin bloomers. We also went to the consignment shop and got some new warm pants and jammies for winter, it's getting cold!
I like to think that the corduroy trousers and overalls, purchased for $2 each from the boys' section of the baby thrift store balance out the diva accessories and the fact that she is going to be buried under a mountain of velvet and bows for Thanksgiving.
