All Growed Up...=(

It's Wordless Wednesday again!

Smurfette just loves to get all dolled up and have me take her picture...

she's such a girl....& I LOVE it!

She's growing up fast.

"Mommy, I want my training wheels off. I'm a big girl now. I'm five ya know!"

Mommy's back didn't last long.... so Daddy took over.....

Her first day's attempt did not go well. She kept insisting through the tears and frustration to keep trying....

'at a girl!

She was like the Little Engine that could....

Daddy's back eventually started begging for mercy also.....

And the first day without training wheels ended in disappointment....

Poor baby! We'll keep trying and hopefully get it down before summer.....

Assuming my back holds up.

It's kinda sad to think that this will be my last time teaching a child to ride their bike.

*sigh*

On another note.....I just found out that Bahama Mama over at Cabrelli's at Water's Edge blog has a business selling Dolls and doll clothes....it's called Emily Rose Doll Clothes & Accessories. I believe in Karma! This is the reason that I found Bahama Mama's blog!


I've been walking a tight rope on the verge of nose diving into a sea of American Dolls and Bitty Babies. I mean, I have a five year old girly girl daughter after all.




But I've resisted.




The thought of spending that kind of money on a doll that will inevitably end up buried under a mountain of shoes and toys on the bottom of a closet has kept me firmly planted on that tightrope.




Ready to slip and fall at any moment.




And along comes Bahama Mama with this nifty business of affordable dolls and adorable clothes and furniture and accessories and cute matching outfits for my daughter and OMG I'm teetering...I'm leaning....I'm FALLLLLIIIIINNNNNNNG! I see dolls and clothes and doll clothes and doll furniture and doll jewelry in my my daughter's future

....help.......*grunt*.......me.......*grunt*.....save. me. from. my.self......
