Who else would think up this ensemble, diamond bracelet included!?!  Noelle never ceases to amaze me with her creativity and flair for fashion.  She asked me if I would take some pictures of her modeling and so I did.  I wish I had the time, energy, and money to help her model for real.  She loves being behind the camera and is such a beautiful little girl!  Every child has their special talents, and hers is make-up and fashion.  I wouldn’t have necessarily picked it for her, but she’s obviously gifted.  She is learning to sew and is always designing new dresses on sketch pads.  Wait until you see her latest creations… they are truly impressive.  It’s weird how she’s already doing something that I can’t and she’s only 6!  She’s like my alter ego… I wish I was as brave with my wardrobe as she is… I wish I was as fancy and sassy!  We embrace Noelle for who she is and think she’s pretty amazing!  It is just a tricky talent to help foster and develop at this age.  I mean, there’s not a fashion team or personal shopping classes for 6 year olds.  It’s more of a loose thing that will always be something she loves to do.

When people ask Noelle what she wants to be when she grows up, she always answers, “A fashion designer!” It is her dream to go to Paris and design dresses. One time when we were shopping together, she saw a necklace with an Eiffel Tower charm on it. First, she asked me if it was real (like real gold/silver), and I answered no.  And then she said, “When I design my first dress in Paris, will you buy me a real necklace with an Eiffel Tower charm on it?” I just grinned and said, “Of course!”  She dreams big!

After Rose saw Noelle crossing her arms for the picture, she wanted in on the action.  Lesleigh said, “Melissa, Rose wants you to take her picture!” and when she set her down, sure enough, she did this!  It will be so fun to see what Anna Kate and Rose are interested in.  Kids are so cool, and I love having a front row seat for mine!
