I get the biggest kick out of my girls. It is funny to me that I have 3 girls so very close in age that are so much alike but yet so different. A couple of weeks ago I picked The Belle up from school and the following happened:

Me to The Belle: how was your day?
The Belle: good. This girl in my class out ran every 1st and 2nd grader today at p.e.
The May: EVEN YOU?!?!
The Belle: YES! But only because I had on these rain boots.
The May: I loved wearing my rain boots to school today.
The Belle: not me, I couldn't run at all with those things flopping up and down!

The next morning as the girls are getting ready for school the following takes place:
The Belle: momma can I please wear tennis shoes to school?
Me: Well, don't you want to wear your new mary janes?
The Belle: no mam, I can't run in those.
Me: (thinking to myself we haven't bought any new tennis shoes since last school year and she probably doesn't have any that fit) if you can find some that fit.

After trying on 3 different pairs of tennis shoes The Belle returns wearing a pair of play velcro tennis shoes.

The Belle: mom these are the only ones I can get to fit and I think I can make them work just for today.
Me: (a tad bit embarrassed that my 6 year old is wearing velcro tennis shoes) sure as long as you don't think you will get blisters.
The Belle: it doesn't matter if I do. I have to wear tennis shoes today.
Husband walks in and I say "there is your mini you".

Me to The May: do you want to wear tennis shoes today too?
The May (who is rocking a side ponytail on the top of her head, eating a muffin with her hand on her hip): uh no mam, I am wearing my gold sandals, Bethany in my class says my gold sandals are SOOOO cute!

Husband looks at me and says "and there is your mini you".

Who knows where The Lynn will fall when it comes to fashion and athleticism?!?!
