Shopping is a girl's best friend

One of the joys of being an 'honorary aunt' is that occasionally I get to totally spoil my cuties. Tonight I took Jayne shopping...a few days early...for her third birthday. Jayne's wardrobe has been sorely lacking in long pants as Sara fully wore out all the pants in the 3T range last year. So...hitting the shops, we had fun! Soon after arriving at our destination, Jayne spotted hats. She loves hats! After having to inform her that the hat she really wanted, a brown newsboy cap with a cute blue bow, was too large for her head, we settled on a fuchsia newsboy cap with rhinestones. Big surprise from such a girly girl, right? We then headed to the jeans section. Faced with a fairly largish selection of jeans in her size, Jayne narrowed down the selection to her three favorite. All three have lots of embroidered flowers, etc. The deciding factor in picking these particular pairs, however, was that all three had belts! Shiny belts! One even has a large pink rhinestone studded heart for the clasp! She just had to have them! After trying on the jeans to make sure they fit right (and Jayne had modeled them in front of the mirror in the dressing room to her heart's content), picking out a cute shirt and an adorable outfit for Miss Abby, who is also soon to have a birthday, we picked up a 'to go' bag of Oreos and headed home. By the time we arrived, Jayne had conked out in my car, complete with hat slumped over her eyes and Oreos clutched tightly. So much fun! I could shop with this girly any day!!
