It’s Very Cool To Be A Girl
December 3rd, 2009
Watching my daughter get ready for school today reminded me that it is so very cool to be a girl.
It wasn’t that she did anything out of the ordinary. She got ready for school like she normally does. She went to school in her usual uniform of jeans, t-shirt and tennis shoes. Nothing special or spectacular.
But she has this other side and doesn’t hide it. In fact she embraces it for all its worth.
She loves her bling and twirls. We can’t walk through a department store without her stopping to oh and ah over the jewelery. When we walk by the shoe department she’ll stop when she sees a pair of stilettos and ask if she can try them on as she’s taking off her shoe!
During the holidays I avoid the mall altogether with her. Walk through a store with holiday gowns and we are hopelessly side tracked. Lost within a maze of sequins and organza.
While she loves to dress up and wear sparkly (Although sparkly is not an official word in the English dictionary – it’s a word used often in our house!) stuff - she’s not afraid to put on jeans and tennis shoes so that she can fully enjoy the playground.
I love that! And that’s why it’s soooo cool to be a girl.

I’m not a girl, myself… but my 4 year old makes certain I understand the importance of sparkles and spark-lees, ribbons and bows. (Must be those ribbons and bows that she has Daddy wrapped around her little finger??).
As crazy as it is working from home, it’s wonderful to see our children as they experience their adventures of life.

Hi Dave,
You are absolutely right! It does get crazy working from home but I wouldn’t want to miss a minute of watching my girls grow!
