Sweet Yet Sour

Pinkalicious

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am always surprised that my tomboy self is raising a serious girly-girl.  Anna loves pink! Everything must be pink! From her clothes, to her shoes, to her snack and the cookies that she gets at the store – it all must be pink!

The other day I went in to her room after nap and Anna said, “I want to wear a dress and be a princess.”  Thankfully we had a pink dress that fit the bill that day!

So I should not have been surprised when Anna demanded a pink umbrella the other day (along with a pair of pink scissors – she’s in a paper cutting phase too).  Fortunately I found both at the grocery store (while Anna chomped on her free pink cookie).

That first day, since I’m not terribly superstitious, I opened it inside for Anna.  The umbrella went everywhere with her; she ate her snack under it and walked around with it for hours.

The next day it rained and Anna ran downstairs to get her pink umbrella and go outside.  Here she is trying it out on the porch for the first time.

Then she got up the nerve to actually go out in the rain and try it out:

And then, as if she had actually seen “Singing in the Rain”, she started twirling the umbrella and dancing with it:

In the end, much to the gladness of my tomboy heart, Anna handed the umbrella to me and just danced in the rain and splashed in the puddles:

Pinkalicious!
