dressing up

Rebecca loves doing everything her big sister does.  (Rachel, in turn, wants to do everything her little sister does, too!) 

So lately whenever Rachel plays dress up and puts on a princess dress, Rebecca comes up to me saying, "dess?  dess?"  because she wants a dress, too.  I knew I had some smaller princess dresses somewhere put away that Rachel used to wear, but I couldn't remember for sure where they were, and didn't want to take Rebecca with me to look for them.  So I always had to try and satisfy her with a hat, beads, or shoes, instead of the dress she was wanting.

So over the weekend I was finally able to look for the smaller dresses, and found them!

So here's Rebecca in her first princess dress.

She kept touching her chest, saying "pitty!" and then saying "La La!" ....telling me she was a pretty princess like Cinderella. 

So when I took Rebecca's picture, of course, Rachel wanted her picture taken, too.  Instead of a princess dress, she had elected to dress in her way-too-small Care Bear costume with her new Belle shoes, which she got for Christmas.  Quite an ensemble.
