Well let me start with I was a girl raised with boys who ended up being a mom of 2 boys and I really pictured me with 4 sons. I of course wanted a little girl so bad but after having 2 boys I just didnt think it would happen since I am used to more boy play and sports I was good with this. I figured it would just be harder for me to have a girl cause boys were easy its just play, eat and play some more. When I found out I was having not 1 but 2 girls I was over the moon spinning in visions of tutus and bows, sparkles and all. I envisioned always having them in a tutu everyday and oh the bows! Being money smart and knowing I was getting twice the joy I made my first tutu while pregnant and also learned how to make bows. I really thought id be putting bows in their heads everyday as I see alot of other of my moms and friends and relatives do. I have bows and the bigger the better right? I've recieved compliments on them when the girls do wear them. Now my girls are 9 months and during several special occasions and photo shoots I leave the bows at home. Ive realized that as a mom of my daughters I just marvel at how beautiful they are a lot of the time. I think they are so perfect they just dont need a thing. Sometimes I even take off their dresses just to get pictures of just them while they play focusing on their smiles and beautiful lil faces God has blessed them with. I think alot about why I do this but it just comes down to the fact that they are beautifully perfect just how they are I dont want the focus to be on the big bow or pretty dress theyve got on I want them to just shine. And when I thought of this I think of how important it is to teach them this that they are beautiful and need nothing. How many little girls think they need a bow to be cute or as they get older they only feel pretty in a pretty dress and think they need all those ribbons and curls and it just goes on to makeup and on and on? Now im not saying I wont dress them up from time to time but I know its much more important that they know just how beautiful they are and they dont need a stitch to improve on or change for any reason. So make sure your telling ur lil princess how u love her everyday and all the time not just when all decked out. I just think its funny how I expected to be a certain way with my girls but im really a totally different way now that I'm actually in the role. Society really pushes that as a female you need all this extra unnecessary stuff to get through each day. But we dont. Were all beautiful and perfect just the way we are and we should embrace it. Ad a mom make sure you are practicing this yourself so that your setting the right example. Aint it funny by having girls im learning to be a better woman myself? Thats right. I want to set a good strong example. :)
