Outfit Of The Day! Do You Like My Dress??

I asked Nui Nui what she wanted to wear the other night and she said she wanted to wear a dress— a rare request. She had school the next day so when she pointed to one, I declined because I didn't want her to get it school-filthy— you know, the kind of sit-in-the-sandbox-all-day, green-paint-from-art-time, pasta-sauce-from-lunch filthy. So she chose another and this was it. First time she's worn this dress actually— an unforgiving (non-stretchable) dress with collar and real buttons— a dress even I am too lazy to put on her. But the surprising thing is, is she liked it. Unsurprisingly, she was really excited to show her teachers and friends :>

The thing about kids is that when they are ok with something in their head, life is easy. But when they're not ok with something (or if they're tired), they just don't do it and/or you've got yourself a lovely tantrum. I guess the same applies to adults, huh? :>

OOTD - All-American Girl!

There's a funny story behind this Outfit Of The Day.

I put together Nui Nui's top [a red onsie that reads: My ♥ Belong to Mommy] and blue-striped pants, and Pau Pau helped pick out a sweater, as we were in a rush. I came out of the shower to see which sweater she chose and Pau Pau 'jokingly' asked if I approved, knowing I would be semi-picky of what she chose. I think we were going out that night with friends so was actually going to be picky about it.

I was, however, pleasantly surprised. Pau Pau matched the outfit perfectly and actually made it even better. Everything tied in so nicely— consistency of stripes and the red-white-blue theme. I had forgotten she had that sweater, the sweater that Pau Pau actually insisted we get. Now I love it and we laugh about it and Pau Pau rubs it in my face, which is ok because I deserve it! :>



Do you ever buy clothes and think they're only so-so but the more you wear it, the more you love it?

Comment below, we' love to hear!

All American Girl In The Sand!

Ok ok. I admit it. I'm a babeaholic. I took a bunch of pics of Nui Nui this past Sunday— when I took her to the park... [70degF in December!]— and can't decide which to post so I'll be posting most of them— mind you, this is not ALL of them! :>

Nui Nui is wearing a really nice, thick-materialed onsie that states: My Heart Belongs To Mommy. Ok ok, I admit again, it's vice versa but whatevs.

I then put her in a really nice pair of blue striped pants that have subtle bows on the ankles. I was in a rush and asked Pau Pau to get a sweater for her and she chose this red- and white-striped number. Pau Pau was in fact the one that picked it out in the store. H&M in case you're wondering— both the sweater and pants. Really nice quality, really stylish. I was skeptical of what Pau Pau might have picked but I love it.

Bam! [Stamped!] Approved! :>

Pau Pau was insulted by my doubts but just another thing to laugh about. :>

And here we are. Nui Nui rode the swings, crawled through the tunnel, climbed up and slid down the slide, steered a wheel, looked through a wooden car, and watched the other kids. The park: it's always a good time! uh o uh o ohhhh, always a good time.... Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!

Eat this! ...[Tommy Hilfiger ain't got nothin'!]... :>
