To say she has her own sense of fashion is an understatement. My daughter prefers not to battle over clothing, hair and shoes. As long as she is covered and it is not a safety issue so be it. The assistant in her classroom asked Anna if her Mother looked at her in the mornings...apparently Anna's choice of shoes did not suit her...she wore her jazz boots...leather bottom, leather tops, neutral color, very comfy not distracting to anyone except the assistant. Yeah, several of us were ready to string her up.
Anna dances through life...she is on a competition dance team with her first performance in February. She flew through my kitchen after dance dragging a pink suitcase on wheels. I told her I loved her pink suitcase and she assures me that it is HOT pink. She proceeded to do her dance routine on the breakfast bar.
Give the child some paper and something to write with...she is busy for hours, really! When this little girl has had enough of the world around her...she takes herself to bed and snuggles in with a stack of books.
Her Mimi (great grandma and my mom) gave her money for Christmas. Anna decided it was time to re-do what she calls "her" bathroom. Pink and purple polka dotted shower curtain, pink rug, toothbrush holder, cup and towel set...with a huge Justin Bieber poster (a gift from her brother). What five year old does this?
I LOVE this girl. I love her spirit. I love being reminded to dance through life...to be creative and to take yourself to bed with good books when the world is too much. Most of us knew what made us feel good and how to just BE before we let life take over. Yes...there are jobs, families, myriad responsibilities...in the midst of all of "that" let us not forget to just Be, to explore, to enjoy. I have a feeling 2012 is going to be an Amazing year...how about you, what do you think?

Granddarling is right! So like GRAND Mah-mah!!! Perhaps, in time, that asst will learn about personality and flair!!!
Your granddarling would fit right in in this house!! Thank God for joie de vivre! May 2012 be the best yet!!
XOXO
She is a darling indeed! Keep encouraging her - Grandmas are best qualified to write about their darlings, I think. You have captured her through the eyes of love.
Happy Birthday sweet Anna!! I hope I live long enough to spoil a granddaughter! She will have a trunk full of hats and jewels!!
I see outfits like that EVERY DAY at my school. Heck, even today there was this girl that had on pants, shirt, and shoes that had three different patterns on it, each as loud as the other and none that went together.
It made me smile.
The only outfits I don't like are the stripper ones. You know the ones, shirt three sizes too small so that you see their belly along with the pants that fit the same. Oh and the boots with two inch heels to finish the look!
Anna sounds like my kind of girl!!!
xo jj

Just stopping by again to say HI and thinking of you. one love.
What a precious girl you have. Aren't children such a blessing?
How did I miss this beautiful tribute to precious Anna? One of the many things she has going for is the love and unconditional acceptance of a doting grandmother!
Grandchildren really know how to teach us joy!
