For me being the mom of a little girl is a lot harder than being a mom of boys. I dunno, it is easier to be rough and tumble with a little boy. I don't worry about dressing them up or worry about them being considered beautiful. The other day one of my brother in laws said Rachel was Callum and others have noted how they only wear sleepers (and she isn't all fancy).
So I am trying to be better about that. Trying to remember to put bows on her and the pretty outfits. I don't want her being lost in a sea of brothers. I want her to feel beautiful. I remember growing up I didn't feel very pretty and so I don't want Rachel doubting that ever.

Don't worry. The girliness always comes through. My niece has brothers 5 years older and 11 months older, and my sister is not at all fussy. (Except for my wedding, I haven't seen her in a dress in ten years.) But somehow, our Rachel Clare has forged her own little girly path...and makes sure EVERYONE else takes note.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that some are just born girly and needing the ruffles and bows where others don't want it at all. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just go with what her personality tells you. And she IS a twin so being mistaken for her brother isn't that big a deal. Besides, you have a lot on your plate right now. Just focus on healing and everything else will fall into place.
