Amelia completely dressed herself for the first time today. When she came downstairs totally dressed after her bath, Joel and and I were so surprised! He has been working on them with their dressing/undressing skills and it looks like it is paying off:) She completed the outfit from the dress up basket downstairs and declared that "if we went to my friend's house they would say, "Wow Amelia, what a beautiful skirt!" Then as we were ready to head out the door she chose her new (thrifted) red sparkly shoes that she is very proud of. A very lovely and very Amelia outfit to choose for her first go of it. What a fun, spirited, confident, sparkly girl she is!
She even took the time to help her brother, who isn't so eager to get dressed by himself yet:)
I'm sure she will be his biggest cheer leader whenever he is!
P.S. She had no idea I was taking any of these pictures with my phone. She was just talking non-stop about the windy day and how perfect it would be to fly a kite (which we didn't do but must do soon!).
P.S.S. Every single thing she had on was backwards--dress, leggings, underwear:)

wow ! those two are growing up fast . Papa S
YEAH!! i love it! sariyah dresses herself most mornings and she is always so proud of her fashion statements- stipes and plaid, a very bright printed shirt with a very bright printed pair of shorts... i love it... and wonder why i don't see MORE kids looking like she does... it's put away your pride, momma time!! i LOVE it!!!! way to go Amelia!
(and i think the dressing thing is also a girl thing- adrian has NO interest in picking out his own clothes OR putting them on himself- he couldn't care less about what he wears- unless he's playing dressup... i think there's something in girls' genes that makes them enjoy their own fashion sense- sariyah has been VERY particular in what she will and won't wear since before she was 2. i'm just glad we're past the- "i won't wear anything unless it is striped" phase!! :))
she's so grown up!!
CUTE!
Makes me want to be three again! Of course lots of things make me want to be three again but nothing more than sweet Amelia. Great pictures Jenny. Love you all, beth
