As I was going through photos and figuring out what I needed to catch up on next, I decided that maybe I'd just focus on one kiddo at a time. I have so many silly pics of this crazy girl. She drives me bananas, brings me to giggles, and warms my heart....every single day.
I knew it was only a matter of time before she got into my makeup. She loves to dress up and look at herself in the mirror. Often times I'll give her my old makeup brush and she pretends to do her makeup while I get ready. Of course, the only times she has been naughty with my makeup has been with my expensive stuff....once time digging out almost my entire, new container of concealer, and another time dumping my mineral veil on the carpet because it 'needed to smell good.' This, however, was the first time she got into my makeup and used it on herself...but she really wanted a beard like Daddy!
And she loves to brush my hair and make me pretty.
Of course, I can't update about Riley and NOT mention ballet/tap class. The girl is obsessed with it! She has had three classes now, and absolutely adores it. Two of the three Wednesdays she has worn her tights and leotard all day, and on the first day she cried all the way home because she wanted to stay in the class and not leave. I'm not gonna lie....I'm slightly overwhelmed at the thought of becoming a 'dance mom.' Haha! Of course she'd pick something so pricey to fall in love with.
Despite her love of dancing, she's still quite clumsy. Like the time she was walking through the grocery store with her hands in her pockets and decided she'd try a dance move while still walking....that involved crossing her legs. Cue tripping and falling flat on her face!
Riley has such an amazing personality and sense of fashion. She seriously cracks me . This is how she dressed herself to go for a walk around the neighborhood....
And at least five days a week she's seen in this purple dress (and yes, sometimes it's backwards...purposely.)
Maybe I shouldn't be so proud of her for this...but the girl loves some Taylor Swift and can really rock the lyrics in the car with me. :) Her new favorite part is in 'Blank Space' and she says (in her words...) "I can junk in jealousy. You come back each time I see. Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream."
And, boy oh boy, you can only imagine how this makes my heart leap when I see her pretending to be a teacher! She's all about pretend play these days. I love when she's 'going to the grocery store' with her babies and when she talks to her friends on her phone. One of these days I'm going to capture on video how she makes faces at herself every time she gets up to wash her hands or brushes her teeth. Seriously, so funny!
Love you, Riley girl.
