Project Runway

So we've been doing these Fashion shows for almost three years now. Nordstrom puts them on three times a year in the children's department. We go the week before, pick out the outfit and then bright and early on a Saturday, the kids treat an audience full of proud parents to a runway show that probably only a mother could love - and love it we do! Everyone woke up Saturday morning in a good mood. There were no complaints about hair blow drying and even Lily said "I'm going to be in the fashion show!" This would be the first time for her since last time she wanted nothing to do with it.

We got there and got all dressed and accessorized. Lily, still wanting to be a part of it, especially because I'd chosen a vintage Disney tee with Minnie Mouse on it that said "Best Personality". I was hoping the Disney gear would get her in the mood - so far, my little model is strutting her stuff in sunglasses and Disney couture.....but we're still only in the dressing room. Maddy, Taylor, Austin, Lily and Evan are all ready to go, we're in line backstage about ready to go on and guess which little model decides to let her inner diva emerge and throw some major model attitude? My lovely Lily, of course! It's not worth the fight with Lily. Once she's made up her mind, she will stand her ground, there is no swaying her. So she went back to daddy, sat in her stroller with a muffin and some juice (what true model would eat that?) and enjoyed watching everyone else command the catwalk!
