So I spoke too soon.
My sassy little girl, who is now three-half, has gone all girly-feminine on me.
Just like that, she’s suddenly taking a liking to pink things again and all things princessy.
She now insists on wearing a dress whenever we go out, when previously I got so much hell for wanting to put a dress on her…
A sporty dress for Sunday School!
A floral dress handed down from an older sister-friend
I would have never been able to put this cheongsam on a couple of months ago
She also MUST wear a dress to sleep now and dislikes the long-sleeve-top-and-pants ensemble which she used to love. She used to want to be like korkor and didi but well, not anymore.
She needs to wear a sweet PJ to sleep…
She’s starting to like accessorising and making very tacky fashion choices like putting on everything at one go – hat, wristlet, necklace, bag and all the hair clips she’s got.
She loves to have her hair all clipped and tied now
Gotta teach her less is more and classy is the way to go. Heh.
My mother already warned me there’ll be days like this; days of her putting on my shoes and wearing my makeup. I guess I’d better keep my blushers and lipsticks under lock and key for now.
“Look Ma! I can wear your heels!”
I guess it’s a rite of passage for all girls to go through a phase of wishing to be like their mothers. These days, Becks is starting to want to be different from her brothers and is consciously trying to differentiate herself with the choices that she makes and the things that she do. I know deep down, she wants to get attention from me this way and wants to be affirmed by her mother as her mummy’s little precious princess.
Deep down, the little girl is crying out to me, saying, “Look at me, Mama. I may not be as smart like Korkor or as cute as Nat, but I am also special!”
And I’d be a fool of a mother if I didn’t know that and love her just as she is.
Becky love, you’re beautiful. You’ll always be our little darling princess.
