Rachel is all about dress up--always has been. Here are some of her very first dress up moments (I had so much fun looking through them all that I'm going to post a bunch--she was just about Rebecca's age in most of these pictures):
And here's one of her latest.
She changes her clothes multiple times a day in the afternoons when she's home from school, always into something she considers "beautiful." I never know what she'll have on when she comes downstairs from her rest time, but I do know that she'll be waving her arms elegantly and dancing through the room (usually trying to catch a glimpse of herself in the glass on the fireplace!).
It's Dr. Seuss week at school, and each day has a different theme. I'll post a picture each day of what she's wearing--we spent quite awhile on Friday getting her clothes together for the week, deciding what she could wear to go along with each theme. You can imagine how excited she was to choose a week's worth of fun clothes. Of course, she's excited--it's a celebration...something special.....and you know my Rachel. Throw any sort of celebration in there and she's thrilled.
So today was Cat in the Hat day, and they were supposed to wear a hat to school. We went through all of her hats and this is the one she chose to wear.
Brought me back to this day....the day I bought the hat at a garage sale--one of her first dress up pieces.

So sweet! I love it! Katy has the same list for this week - she chose to wear a crown today - I'm hoping that's close enough to a hat. :)
And that's awesome that you already picked out everything for the week - that Rachel gets so excited.
Awwww, all those pictures bring back such memories of her toddler days. She's just getting too old too fast for grandma. I want to hug that "little" Rachel again!
Those dress up pictures are so sweet. I can remember her loving the lady bug wings and of course the upside down picture at the Adkin's house was a classic. I agree with your mom...we need those toddlers back for a few weeks!
