Uniforms!
The girls got their cheerleading uniforms today and Mikyla ran in all excited, couldn't wait to try hers on. *laughs* Ohh she's so picky. If something doesn't feel right, or binds her, she will NOT wear it, absolutely wont. She ran and tried on her outfit and came out with thundery eyes.
"This is NOT right! It doesn't fit! It's too tight! It makes me look fat! It's choking me! I hate it, I'm not going. I'm not wearing this. No."
I coaxed and coddled her until she finally had the whole detested outfit on, including her socks (hates socks too) and shoes (too tight) and then somehow I managed to talk her into posing for a picture..
*coughs* You can see her enthusiasm. Still I coaxed.. Oh baby, you look beautiful, you look so thin in that top, honest, I dont lie to you honey, really you look so nice! Can you let me get another picture?
Of course she could.
Really, Mikyla.. you look terrific, I'd not say it to you if it weren't true, you look downright SKINNY! Pose again and I'll show you how you look? Sure!
By now I was getting worried that she truly wasn't gonna wear it, that she was just gonna quit. She would do just that too if it crossed her mind. So.. I told her that the only thing missing was a great big smile.. did she think she could smile for me to get a good picture? Sure!
*laughs*
By the time I finished coaxing her, telling her how wonderful she looked, bragging on how well she did her cheers, she was for real smiles. Thank goodness!
Ashley was there!
Their Nana took them to this game, and then took them out for pizza afterwards. They had a good time. Now they're safely in bed, all sleeping but for Maegan, who's hanging onto my chair like a chimpanzee, no doubt going to wake them back up because she wont be quiet! Eeep!
