Prettiest in Pink

Today was the BIG day, We have all been so excited. Lucy's first (and last) beauty pageant. Let me first say that i would normally not subject my child to a contest based on looks. This was a pageant that was a fundraiser for the school and one where all the girls were winners. Keeping this in mind i was a little shocked when we arrived and saw some of the girls who could have been on Toddlers and Tiaras. For the most part, Lucy had a good time. She was a ball of nerves. She took her walk, escorted by a high school student. As soon as she was through she looked at me and said, "I forgot to wave." She has practiced her wave for a month. In the end she was awarded prettiest in pink. She got a sash, a rose and a tiara. When i asked her if she would do this again, she said no. I am glad i don't think i could either. Thank you to everyone who came to support her and thank you to lauren for the makeup and jewels.
