Boys don't care much about how they look (unless Mom intervenes) which is a refreshing difference from the girls... though admittedly, it can be a real challenge to get those pre-teen boys to use soap, shampoo and deodorant!Lorindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925189973625908004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-48414647183765249072011-04-22T11:47:53.658-07:002011-04-22T11:47:53.658-07:00Teaching your child, boy or girl, that true beauty...Teaching your child, boy or girl, that true beauty comes from within is one of the most important things we can teach them. They way they take care of themselves inside and out is also important. I loved fixing Kevra's hair, painting the nails and dressing her cute. That is one of the fun parts of being a girl. And as long as that is not how she identifies herself, do it. But professional toes and highlights on a child, waste of money and values.<br /><br />Boys, delightful. Trying to get them to wear something that matches? Challenging. None of my boys have been that concerned about if they had the right clothes or hair. Clean, unwrinkled, don't clash, hair combed? Yes, that's what we work on:)paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843942627518871826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-45909461801953303402011-04-21T16:19:16.196-07:002011-04-21T16:19:16.196-07:00I paint Autumns nails/toenails and see no issue wi...I paint Autumns nails/toenails and see no issue with that. I am not a blingy person, no rhinestones, flashy sequins...not my style, so while I am the one buying the clothes Autumn won't be "blinging it". I love having a girl, and I love the pink, the frilly...it's why I pierced her ears at 6 months, and why I fix her hair everyday (and I am guilty of using the hair straightener, the 3 barrel roll, curling irons, and hair products). Girls are sooo much fun. But if at 6 years old (which is only 2 years away for us) she came up to me requesting highlights I will laugh and talk to her about how beautiful her hair is, and if she asks to use my straight iron on a day when the nanny has her and they're going to chic-fil-a- I will deny her request. But if it's church, picture day at school, or a wedding and she has some waves or her hair isn't cooperating, absolutely she can use it.April Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368616911365892815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-48963493115225785402011-04-21T08:27:06.415-07:002011-04-21T08:27:06.415-07:00It is VERY scary what these little kids are subjec...It is VERY scary what these little kids are subjected to these days. At 6 Savanah came home saying she needed an Ipod Nano. What?? Where did you hear about an Ipod Nano. I don't even have one. Now she, at 7, is convinced she needs an Iphone. I don't even have one of those either and I am 37. And because of what their friends wear they don't want the clothes if it doesn't have bling. It is insane!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302058070896344099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-37143204539295079282011-04-20T23:23:21.402-07:002011-04-20T23:23:21.402-07:00Oh, man- that's crazy!

My friend took her daughter to get her first pedicure- for her 3 year old birthday! She got the little flowers and everything. My girls aren't even allowed to use nail polish yet! Life is so much simpler when all they need is a fresh diaper :) Cute pic of the boys! We can't wait to see you!Evalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624089310890029593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-56372791923329958802011-04-20T19:28:47.373-07:002011-04-20T19:28:47.373-07:00I had those same thoughts a few weeks ago.

Thank heaven for my little boy :) Now it's up to us to teach our boys what real beauty is ;)Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898185334226483283noreply@blogger.com
