Pretty in Pink

There have been two days recently when the kids didn't have to follow the dress code: for picture day and for a dress-down fundraiser for Breast Cancer awareness.

And on both days, the schoolyard was a sea of pink!

Given the chance, everything Sis has on is pink. Just like almost all the girls in her school, it seems. And she was in rare form today, practically a-glow in pinkness. The teacher at drop-off even giggled to see the pink shirt, pink jeans, pink socks, and pink shoes.

All that was missing was a bow. Or a crown. But she doesn't do that. She likes her pink plain.

We tried to go the green-yellow-purple route for the kids, not locking them into gender-specific colors, but it doesn't seem to have mattered. At least it's her choice and makes her so happy. And I'm good with that. (Especially because it is only a favorite color, not an attitude or a lifestyle.)

In fact, I'm sorry she can't wear her favorite color to school everyday.

Though, neither one of us might like it as much then.
