Three days before Halloween Camila decided that she wanted to be a Princess-Fairy-Ballerina, NOT a flower. AND this Princess-Fairy-Ballerina had to be pink.
Thankfully this homemade tutu arrived in the mail via Abuela and Abuelo.
There goes all my work of, “Isn’t Purple a nice color too?” and “Trains are so much fun!” She is a girl. She likes Pink. And she wants to be a Princess-Fairy-Ballerina.
We went to a few Halloween parties, where Camila danced for about 99% of the time.
Seriously. She didn’t want the pizza they were serving nor did she want to play with the other kids. She wanted to dance. To her own music. ”Dancing Dinosaur! Dancing Dinosaur!” was her mantra. (at least she was chanting dinosaur and not princess!)
The other 1% of the time she was flirting with 14 and 11 year old boys from our neighborhood, Will and McGee, who she danced for and let chase her.
Camila is like all of her family members, especially her parents, strong willed, opinionated and marches to the beat of her own drum. Makes for some challenging parenting but I bet she’ll be an adult I’d like to be friends with.
Happy Halloween!!
