Diamonds are a Toddler’s Best Friend
My daughter is officially a girl.
I knew it before, but now it’s official.
She’s taken an interest in all things that are (normally) considered girly girl things.
Example 1 - Ballerinas
She already loves to dance. Now, she likes to dance like a ballewina.
With hands on top of her head and up on her tippy toes, she twirls around the house actually singing “tippy tippy toes, tippy tippy toes”.
And of course, mommy and daddy have to twirl around like ballewinas too.
Example 2 - Princesses
Princesses also receive much love from baby girl.
There was that story she made up - it was all about crowns and princesses.
There’s also the princess clothes, dolls, pajamas, etc.
She even likes to call the towers at shopping centers castles. Wait until she sees the Cinderella castle at Walt Disney World.
The girl is gonna ***flip***.
Example 3 - Shopping
Lately a keen interest in shopping has developed.
Every time she sees us getting dressed, she immediately thinks we’re going out and asks, “Where we going?”
When I answer, she’ll say, “No. Let’s go to the store.”
That or “No. I wanna go shopping.”
Example 4 - Diamonds
And the kicker.
While I’m sure most kids pretend to play pirates & find treasure at one point or another, I’m not so sure that their treasure is quite as exquisite as my baby girl’s treasure.
Every time she pretends to be looking for treasure, the following conversation ensues:
“Mommy, I found some treasure! Here you go.”
“Yea, that’s great baby! What is it?”
“DIAMONDS.”
I about died the first time she said it.
Where does she come up with these things?
I’ve got a future debutante on my hands!
Please, do share your stories with me. I need to know I’m not the only one with a 2 year old diva.

That is so freaking cute! I would love to have a girl so I can play with her hair.

Jai the hair playing fantasy gets old quick after a few times of them running away from you!

Aw! I’m sure it does. But I remember sitting like a good little girl while my mom did my hair. And my hair was always long. A girl can dream right? I’d probably end up with a tomboy!

You’re right. She wasn’t always this “girly” and she still loves her cars & trucks! She’s got a bit of tomboy in her.
