Well, we all knew Leila was a momma's girl and she is following in her mother's footsteps with a full blown obsession with...accessories. This little series depicts Leila's new bedtime routine and a recent foray into mom's jewelry drawer when I was doing some organization. Never mind that my organization project took a little longer than anticipated with Leila's "help" as you would expect. You can't fault her though for enjoying the baubles. I did get a chuckle out of all of her oohs and aahs. It pretty much went like this: "ooooh wow, bootiful, so pwetty, amazing, ooooh wow, bootiful, so pwetty..." And as any good kid knows, she always went for the good stuff, not the crap I was trying to weed out. The girl's got taste.
Back to the bedtime routine-you will see from the pics that Leila goes to sleep with 1/2 her closet now. Most nights she needs her backpack (handbags are indeed one of the best accessories to make an outfit), boots or shoes and 1-2 of her jackets/sweaters all lined up inside the crib with her to settle down for the night. The mound of items has progressively gotten bigger over time-this picture is during the early stages, so not too many things in the crib. She gives new meaning to security blankets.
