The Joy of Love:Day 2 "How They Look"

My Cailynne is the definition of sweet and sour. Just this morning, she sat on the rocker with her baby all wrapped up in a soft blankie, kissing and hushing her to sleep. I was watching her with absolute joy as she so sweetly fed her a bottle and patted her back for the burp. Suddenly, her and baby jumped out of the rocker and disappeared into her bedroom. Minutes later Cailynne emerged wearing nothing but a tutu (which admittedly has seen better days), pearls, and a feather boa. Baby, who is now naked, dangles from Cailynne's purse by only a foot. She chucks baby onto the floor and demands a cookie from me IMMEDIATELY! All I can do is laugh. That's my girl!
This girl would wear a tutu at all times and I couldn't love it more. I mean, no matter how old we get, "dress up" never gets old, am I right? At 29 years of age, if I could get away with wearing a tiara and a feather boa to the grocery I'm pretty sure I would embrace it! So in order to save the battles for more important issues, I do not fight Cay Cay when she insists that proper church attire involves something fluffy. Or when we head to target dressed as a ballerina. After all, my theory is if she looks "sweet" then maybe the other shoppers won't be so quick to notice the "sour".
So when I received this homework assignment, I knew exactly how to begin...with a tutu of course! Again, forgive the technicality of the photos as I am still a beginner. It was super fun to have a photo shoot with my gals though and I forsee many more.
