Dressing yourself and a little coloring

I posted not long ago that Mamie is just now starting to want to dress herself. Well, Monday morning I laid out her clothes and she was o.k. with what I chose for her. Then came Tuesday, once again I laid out her clothes for her and she went through the roof. It was a very cute pair of pants (that I made) and a cute t-shirt. No big deal right, well to get her to stop crying I told her she could wear whatever she wanted to on Wednesday. So yesterday morning when she woke up she said, "remember you told me I could pick out what I wanted to wear". I said "yes I remember, just pick something warm it is cold outside". Well, here comes Ms. Mamie all proud of what she had found to put on. She worn tourquoise legging, a white summer dress at first with a yellow long sleeve t-shirt, but we found the white one right before we were leaving for school and her brown and blue shoes. I told her she had to wear a coat and she came out in her brown pull over. But boy was she so proud she did everything herself. So here is a picture of my little fashion designer. You got to love it.....



I guess it was back in October I was reading the Parent/Kids magazine and they were having a coloring contest. Mamie loves to color, so I ran off a copy of the turkey you were to color. So she sat down right when I gave it to her and colored it and I sent it in. Well, November came and went, December came and went, I didn't hear from the magazine. To be totally honest, I had forgotten all about it until yesterday. There was a letter addressed to Ms. Mamie Ainsworth it was from Parent/Kids magazine saying that she had won, best coloring for her age and best creative for her coloring. She received a $15.00 gift certificate to Sal & Mookies Pizza and Ice Cream place. I am so proud of my little girl. I am finding out every day that she is growing up so fast. Check out her turkey and yes she colored all by herself, I did not help her at all........ So watch out fashion and art world here comes Mamie...................
