We've Entered the Barbie Stage

Makayla is really into Barbie right now. Whenever she sees Barbie anything, she thinks she needs to have it: Barbie toothpaste with the matching toothbrush, Barbie panties, Barbie plates, Barbie blankets, Barbie alarm clock, Barbie movies, etc.

This morning when Makayla woke up, the first thing she said to me was, "May we go to the movie store and get that Barbie mermaid movie?"

I figured since yesterday was such a rough day for us (hence no post yesterday), it would be nice to just relax a little and have fun today. So, while Makayla was at school, I stopped at Red Box to pick up a Barbie movie. Of course Red Box didn't have the Barbie mermaid movie, but there was no way I was going to pay $4.50 at Blockbuster. So I got the Barbie butterfly movie. (I'm sure they all have more specific names, but I don't know what they are.)

After lunch, I told Makayla that I rented a Barbie movie for her to watch while Ellie took a nap. She was so excited that she immediately changed into her "Beautiful Barbie Dress" so she could get ready to watch her show.

"Look Mom! I have Barbie hands!"
These last three pictures are of Makayla giving me her best Barbie poses.


She cracks me up!

This is so ironic...Lauren is soooo into Barbie right now too, which I love!
Wait till I tell Lauren that Makayla loves Barbies too.
Oh and the correct titles are "Mermadia" and "Mariposa" =)
We have both of them as we speak...and Lauren is having a total Barbie birthday! Not decorations...just gift-wise.
I'm sure Makayla will too??
4 years old...crazy!

Halle LOVES Barbie!
I don't let her have the toys but she LOVES Mariposa and The Nutcracker!

She has different Barbie dress with wings that detatch so she can be Mariposa OR The Nutcracker Princess-her name escapes me right now.

Elena or something.
