Embracing her inner girlie

Teagan is my non-girlie girl. (Which is just fine with me, mind you.) Not just because she doesn't particularly like skirts because 'they're not comfortable'. Although I get her to wear them sometimes with the ploy that she can wear it for a little bit and then take it off. Instead, she much prefers comfort over cute and would rather wear the legging with long sleeves or a hoodie at all times. This is a favorite outfit, for example.



When seasons change from cold to hot, she still wants all limbs covered if not layered at all times. Same goes for sleepwear!



She doesn't really care what she wears and gets dressed with ease. Now, she does raise a stink about her shoes every once in a while, only because she wants them to be comfortable.

When she plays dress up, she gears more towards costumes and not so much princess.





When she plays pretend, she is usually the mama, the teacher, or anyone else who is the boss.




She loves movies where the main character is a boy. And usually a boy who gets in trouble - Home Alone (1, 2, and 3), The Sandlot, The Christmas Story, The Little Rascals, Slappy and the Stinkers, and The Big Green, just to name a few!

Her favorite color has always been blue. She toots like a motor boat. (Seriously, like 200% more often than Presley. And it's not just air, it's stink too. )

She loves to play with her boy cousins.



Price has always said he had 'his son' with Teagan.

Well, this particular day she really embraced her more girlie side. The shoes, the stance, the singing, the assessories - it's a side we don't get to see ALL at once very often! It was a treat! It inspired this post!



I don't push girlie or tomboy. And I try not to label her as either. I love her just the way she is! Which, in my opinion, is a leader who is determined, persistent, true to herself yet practical, and sensitive but with a little bit of wild and a whole lot of ornery thrown in for good measure.

Sounds kind of like a mission statement....
