Pretty in Pink

I admit...I love my girls in pink...dress-ups, hair ribbons, hats, boots, other accessories. I didn't always feel this way about the color of Pepto-Bismol. Before we had our first baby (even though we knew it was a GIRL), I did not want to buy pink. No blankets, no clothes, no nursery bedding, no pink paint, no nothing. Yes, we got some of that "color" as gifts and yes I did buy an occasional pair of tights, socks and headbands in that color, but that was it. I bought a lot of baby blue to match Baby Girl #1's eyes. Then Baby Girl #2 came along. She looked gorgeous in yellow with her olive skin and yellow-brown eyes (and a tiny bit of pink). Then we had Baby Girl #3. She looked cute in Purple (and a little more pink). Then Baby Girl #4 arrived. What color was left? They don't make much else for little girls, but PINK. We were destined for pink. The color has grown on me. I have even branched out a little in my wardrobe and started to wear pink (not something I did much before.) And even Darin, (father of 4 princesses and extremely outnumbered in the house) has a favorite pink button up shirt that soon became a standard at work every Wednesday. And he looks good in it. (Don't let Troy N. convince you otherwise.)

Pink has now become a standard in our house. We have a lot of it and there is just no fighting it. Well, there is fighting going on...over the pink plates/cups/bowls, the pink suckers, pink hair clips, and pink whatever else. And the little ones literally fall apart if they don't get it. Sometimes, we get them all pink, to avoid the fighting. What can I say? When they come this cute in pink...you can't resist!
