Since that time, and with the advent of the show Toddlers & Tiara's alot of media coverage has ushered in these new costumes and the attitude that "it's just dress up"...yeah well, I used to 'just dress up' in my grandmother's costume jewelry and high heels: at no time did you see midriff, hiney-cheek or the like and I had a ball without all that other stuff. Thank you for recognizing with your (PRECIOUS!) girls that they can be little girls for a good long while. <br />PS. I love your blog! Just getting started on my own and yours has a sweet family feel to it.
