a future with JCpenney?

so my mom sent some fall clothes for miss penelope. and hair clips. i’ve learned, we musn’t forget hair clips. sometimes when i ask penelope to get her shoes, she runs to the other room and comes back with a hair clip.. then stands perfectly still for me to fix her hair. but that’s another story.

as i was saying. grandma sent some clothes, and wanted me to take pictures as she wore them. something about this concept thrills penelope. put on new, pretty clothes, and then have your picture taken. case and i cracked up when we saw her little poses– she looks like she thinks she is modeling for a department store catalog. she even asked to get up in the chair for a picture.  i told her it would look like private school picture day.. but that didn’t slow her down.

this week has been a bit of a toddler boot camp, reminding our little darling who is in charge. penelope and i might not have this whole girly thing in common, but my girl certainly inherited her mother’s independent spirit strong will, and stubborn nature. casey, out of the sight of penelope, of course, gives me quite the hard time. he just grins, knowing that i had this coming. his grin isn’t so cheeky when i remind him that it just means he lives with TWO of us now ;).
