Dress up

A couple of weekends ago, Coral and I went to visit my sister and fam in their new house. Coral and her big cousin Emma always take off and play together by themselves, and Kaden usually sicks with Crystal and I. It was time for supper so I went up to Emma's room to get the girls. When I entered the room, I saw my little girl all dressed up from head to toe. Emma put a fairy skirt on her, fancy shoes, a sparkling stop, bracelets, necklaces, and a crown. Ever since then, Coral has been addicted to playing dress up.

She didn't really have dress up stuff at our house. I thought she was to little yet to want to play that. But she made do with what she had. Every day she would go through her clothes and pick out different outfits to wear. She would then put on some of Mommas make up, and then find a pair of my shoes to wear.

I slowly want to collect dress up clothes for Coral and future siblings. When I was little our local thrift store had garbage bag days, and us kids would shove as much dress up clothes as we could in a bag, and would only have to pay a dollar for it. Our dress up truck was always full, and we made good use out of all of it. It allowed us to get creative. We would dress up, make up plays, and present them to our parents, and aunt and uncle and cousins that lived by.

So, let the dress up games begin! I can't wait to hunt in thrift stores for the perfect dress up clothes. In the mean time, I got her a couple of things from Superstore the other day to get her started. Every little girl needs a crown, a wand, and fancy shoes.













She wants to wear her fake little heels everywhere. Look out, this little girl has quite the imagination when she puts her dress up clothes on. If you come over, expect to play king and queen with her, and catch scary lions with your magic wand.
