The material girl

Our Miss Milly loves to get dressed up.  It's not uncommon for her to change her outfit a couple of times a day to suit her mood or whatever activity she has planned for herself.  One night when I went to tuck her in bed she proudly showed off three outfits she had put together and was deciding upon to wear the next day.  Each outfit was layed out on her bed and styled with shoes, a hat, jewellery, a bag and curiously a matching DVD.

The jogging or exercise outfit.

All dressed up for a ball.

Can't remember what this one is called, but she's at least wearing 8 different things at once.

She calls this one her ballerina angel dress up or sometimes her ice skating outfit.

Other than playing dress ups, Milly also loves colouring in.  She'll happily colour in on her own but sometimes she likes someone to colour in with.  She likes to chat while she colours and she likes to tell you how she wants you to colour.  My favourite is when she says encouraging things about my colouring in ability.  She'll let me know if she likes the colours I've chosen, if my colouring in is neat enough, or she'll simply say "that's beautiful Mum, but mine's the bestest".  Michael was lucky enough to do some colouring in with Milly one day.  The photo below isn't very clear but I can tell you he selected some nice colours and coloured in very neatly.

"Mines betterer than yours Dadda."
