The Jewelry Expert

People often ask me if Paige is a "girly girl" and I always respond "not really... " I get funny glances at that, maybe because of the way Paige always has the perfect accessory...

She'll often wear not just one, but two necklaces.

You might find her with a purple rimmed beach hat in the middle of the winter.

Sometimes she wears hot pink sunglasses to an ordinary trip to the post office.

And maybe, just maybe, you'll find a hair clip in her newly grown locks.

Paige adores my friend Ellie. Maybe because she's such a kind, genuine person... or maybe because she makes fabulous jewelry... . regardless, Paige loves Ellie.

And she believes Ellie made every single piece of jewelry that I own.

{including my wedding ring... }

Yesterday morning we were sitting on the couch, just me and Paige. She looked at me and said "Mommy, I really like your nose ring." I smiled and said thank you... and then Paige asked "Did Ellie make it for you?"

I said no...

And Paige said "Yes, Ellie made it for you"

I shook my head and said no again, and explained where it came from...

Paige looked at me, shrugged her shoulders and lifted her hands in the air {as if saying "I don't know"} tilted her head to the side, nodding yes at the same time and said "Ellie made it for you."

This continued for longer than I care to admit.

I swear that Ellie does not make nose rings {though... maybe you should work on that Ellie! Ha!}... but try telling that to my jewelry expert of a daughter... especially while she's playing cars and trucks with her brother ;) I guess she's that kind of girly girl...
