... much, much too quickly. Fortunately, rather like Madonna or Kylie, they can reincarnate/reinvent themselves :)
If I’d had any idea just how shortlived my girls’ fairy days were going to be, they would have been fairies every day of the week LOL Kate was a fully fledged member of the girly girl club, besotted with fairies and all things pink right through to the inevitable Barbie and Disney princess fetish. However, Amy and Sophie only tolerated the hand-me-down fairy costumes until they had enough language to complain! Amy knocked ‘em back at the tender but determined age of 2 and by the look of it, I put it straight on baby Sophie LOL Just didn’t take though, look at that expression in the tragic studio shot – we ended up with female cowboys, pirates, superheroes – life has never been stereotypical around here since.
But fairies, angels and other winged creatures can come back to the flock, with a whole new tween twist of course. This photo is for my generous friend K8 whose daughter’s wardrobe is one of fussy Amy’s very favourite places to shop ;) – she treasures them and wears them until they literally fall apart. These latest angel wing acquisitions made me sigh with sentimentality and reach for old (pre-digital) photos to scan. Apparently if Amy dresses like a fairy or angel in our garden (whether 2 or 10 years old), gorgeous shafts of light will fall on her and make her really look the part ;)

Oh she looks gorgeous Sue! I will show Bronte tomorrow - currently ALL three are at sleepovers (different houses!) as Stan and I are off to a 21st at the Aquarium in a minute! Bronte is just about out of her size 10's now too - waaahhh! Adore these so much.
Big angel kisses to Amy! B loves these because they are not too girly - bet that is why A loves them TOO!
