Before, people would be telling her "oh, you look so prittteeee", "look! this dress is sooooo cute" etc but she would be oblivious to those remarks, obviously not quite apprehend what's the fuss all about. But now she knows. And it's different feeling for me too that she does. I don't quite like it that she's soooo concern about how she looks, how much she wants this pretty dress, or how many clips she wants for her hair. "Don't be so vainpot, can you?" "NO!! YOU ARE NOT A PRINCESS!!!"
Boy, I wonder if she feels hurt inside. It's such a 180' change from me. Why, she must wonder, that her mommy doesn't like her to be pretty and cute.
The thing is, I would love that she's pretty and cute. But more like, pretty from the inner beauty, and cute from her gestures and actions. Not from this hiao-ness, please! It's not going to be very easy when this is more like a habit as she grows up and enters into her teenage years. I like to see girls happy, bouncy and getting all dirty and messy, preferring to be in shorts and tees for comfort sake, but still have an eye for anything pretty and nice.
Jeez.. I am so contradicting myself. Why then do I still keep wanting to buy that oh-so-cute dress when I see one, for her? Why do I still feel an urge to dress up her hair in different styles? Why... I myself want to make myself look presentable and pleasant? And it's just perfectly normal she's wanting the same thing!
But I yao do not want to suppress that kind of "need" of hers, fearing she would be secretly doing something behind my back when she's big enough to be doing that. So I hope in this event, she would be getting over it and I am stressing over and over again, inner beauty is the best beauty of all.

Don't be too worried now.
Kids can change very fast.
