A special afternoon out with my daughter

Danielle and I went down to the mall this afternoon while Simon and Nathan headed off to the mountain bike park for a few hours. My gosh, how did she turn into a pink-sparkly-girly girl? LOL. I was saying to Simon that for her first year of life we didn't have any "girl" toys in the house and it's not something we've purposely done either way. Nathan had a lot of typical boy toys, but equally he got a doll, he plays with the baby buggy, dresses dolls, uses the play kitchen and does (or did) all those "girl things" including going through a big stage of dressing up in Danielle's clothes. So really, although we have all those things, all toys are pretty much viewed as both of theirs.

But, my daughter! We went into a few clothing shops and she was gushing and taking things off the racks and holding them up to herself and saying how cute they were and would they fit her (they were women's clothes) and giggling at the "boobies" on some of the halter neck style tops lol. Then we walked around a large department store and she was honing in on the pink and sparkly stuff. I just don't often get the one on one time with her nor the time where we just wander to get this sort of snapshot of her interests like this.

We had a fun few hours out for mummy and daughter bonding time.
