Emma and I love the new show on the TLC Channel called "Toddlers and Tiaras". Emma loves to watch all the prissy girls with their big hair and fancy dresses. Whenever the girls put on the glittery dresses Emma's eyes get real big and she says "Mommy, look."
I'm not sure how I feel about pageants. I think they're okay if the child really wants to do them. And if they're done for fun... just like any other sport. I'm sure there are lots of kids out there who would rather not play baseball or football or soccer but their parents push them to. And I've been to many baseball games where mothers act just as ridiculous as some of these pageant moms.
Emma and I were at my moms the other day watching Toddlers and Tiaras. My mother is cracking up at Emma staring at these girls. As one little girl is putting on her hair piece you can see a light bulb go off in my mother's head. She takes off to her bedroom. When she returns she says "Emma, look MawMaw has a hair piece for you." My mom puts this pathetic old lady wig on Emma. Emma loved it! She pranced around that house like she was one of those pageant girls!
Note: In all the excitement of being a pageant girl for the afternoon, she never puts down the banana popsicle.
