Pretty is as pretty accessorizes

Caroline loves to get herself dressed in the morning and then go look at herself in my full-length mirror. She’ll admire her hair and her outfit while doing a little dance in the mirror.

Maybe even a little twirl if she’s feeling especially sassy.

So, pretty much every day.

She always tell me how beautiful she looks.

About a week ago, I started telling her that the most important quality is to be pretty on the inside which means to be nice to everyone and considerate of people’s feelings.

It’s a little thing I like to call INSTILLING VALUES.

Yesterday she was looking at herself in the mirror and said, “I AM SO PRETTY, MAMA!”

“Yes you are, baby. But what’s the most important thing you need to be truly pretty?”

“LOTS OF JEWELRY!”

So, yeah. We’re going to keep working on the whole inner beauty lesson.
