A Little Girl-y Girl


Yesterday, Rob and I were sitting on the bed with Butterfly and we were all looking at the new clothes she got for her birthday. [It was Friday...she’s officially one!] She picked up one of her shirts, held it up to her chest, and looked in the chifforobe mirror that was near the bed. Then, she held it up to me and clearly indicated that I was to put it on her. I did, and she looked in the mirror again with a very satisfied expression. It was hilarious.

By the way, if you are not from the south (and the iWeb spellcheck evidently is not), and you do not know what a chifforobe is, it is a piece of furniture having both drawers and space for hanging clothes. It is similar to a wardrobe. Ours has a long mirror that is close to the floor, perfect for Butterfly to use.

Today, I brushed Butterfly’s hair before we were to leave the house, and as usual, she wanted the brush to add her own finishing touches. This time, she took the brush and walked into the bedroom to the chifforobe and proceeded to brush her hair while looking in the mirror. It was SO adorable. Rob got the camera really fast, so we have a little movie of it that I’ll post later.

I guess there some ways she resembles me after all. And she’s only one!
