Ever since Annika was a newborn, she's been mistaken for a boy. Part of it was our fault because we didn't find out her gender before she was born. (Until a PA let it slip the day before she was born, I kid you not!) Therefore, she wore a lot of green and yellow and cream until she was few months old due to all the great gender-neutral clothes we received as gifts. However, since then she is usually dressed in head to toe pink with ruffles and bows and definitely girlie shoes. It doesn't matter, people assume that she's a boy all of the time. I never take offense, after all, what do I care, as long as the strangers deem her an adorable little boy?!?
The funniest thing is that she is such a girlie-girl. She loves shoes and has even been known to sleep in new pairs. She adores bows, baby dolls, and mothering our dogs. I'm not attempting to push her in this direction, I swear! I have even bought her some trucks to play with. She seems to prefer a tiara, a pretty pair of pink shoes, and a mop. Oh well!
. . .and while we're on the subject. Here are a few of my favorite girlie-girl shopping sites.

I've realized that there is a lot of prewiring with children! I would have sworn that boys won't play with guns if never exposed. However, Harris feels differently! I'm glad you have a girlie girl, it's so much fun! I love, love love the picture of her with the mop!
I"m excited to try out your links! Thanks!
