School Shopping

Arrruuggggg. Off to get uniforms for C today. Hooray that her school district has a uniform policy. My fashion girl would surely make my life a living hell otherwise. Now, it's "Do you want to wear the khaki pants and the blue polo, or the khaki pants and the white polo?" She does like skirts, so I'll be sure to get her skirt/skorts... and then, come winter, we can get some fun, funky tights to jazz up her outfits. If she wants them. Sigh. I'd love to get her the whole collection of fun and funky from Hanna Anderson, but I'm not sure 8 going on 18 is going to want that. Who knows. Third grade. (rolling eyes!!!) What the hell.

Last year she had a problem remembering her assignements. I indulged her in an American Girl School Smarts Book. I really hope it helps. I think she'll use it because it's American Girl.

We're also getting her hair trimmed - at MY salon with MY stylist. (rolling my eyes again) She is such a girly-girl. Much more fashion consious than I ever was or probably ever will be. When shopping for a top to wear out for B's birthday, I had C tell me what looked good! Pretty sad when your 8 year old dresses you. I wouldn't be surprised if she became a designer. She has art skills and interest. I've kind of encouraged maybe designing outfits for her Barbies or AG dolls. She hasn't yet, but we'll see. I'll be happy to teach her how to use a sewing machine. Maybe it's time to find a simple pattern so she begins to learn the basics. I had my own sewing machine at 10 - and knew how to use it!
