Raising Dolly..

Well, today's blog is a concern I have. You see I have this beautiful, happy, smart, loving, sunshine daughter who just adores being a girl!! She really LOVES everything that comes with being a girl. Now, thats not the problem, I love being a girl and I can see the appeal. The problem is I feel that I may be raising another Dolly Parton! Now, don't get me wrong if you know me, you know that I am a huge Dolly fan. I mean I named my dog after this amazing singer! The problem is I feel that the moment that Jacie is aloud to wear make up and heels, she is going to go from 0 to 60!

As I think I have said before, this precious little girl just watches me, and always has suggestions for what she thinks I should wear. What color eyeshadow I should put on. She especially LOVES my heels, the higher the better. She really thinks that I buy heels because SHE will like them. She has actually said to me "Mommy, did you buy those heels, because you knew I would like them?"

Dolly Parton always says when she was little her and her mother went to town one day and she saw a street walker walking the streets and thought she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen!! She told her "Mama" that she was going to be like that one day! She never forgot that and she accomplished it, as soon as she was free to.

Does this mean Jacie looks at me like Dolly looked at that "hooker?" Oh man, am I creating a monster? What if when she leaves home she starts dressing like Melissa on New Jersey Housewives??!! Oh brother.

Ok, sure I wear a lot of make up, and 5 inch heels, but I try to play it down some with jeans and t shirts. Ugh, what if she doesn't pick up on that? What if she goes with corsets instead of t-shirts?

I guess I will have to think about this. Maybe I am being paranoid. Perhaps she WILL pick up on my subtle ways of "sure I may choose these very high heels, but my outfit says I can bring it down a little."

Well, I think that maybe I am looking to far into it. Lets take Dolly for instance, sure she dresses in VERY tight fitting clothes, has enormous assets sitting on her chest, that she likes to show off. Sure, she cakes on the make up and wears her hair as high as she can possibly wear it, but if Jacie is as nice, and lovely as she is, and expresses how much she loves the Lord as Dolly does. Well... maybe its not so bad. I mean Dolly has been married to the same man for like, 50 years or something like that.

So, I think after writing this I have talked myself off the ledge. I am confident that Jacie will always be her loving, good, happy self, and I am VERY O.K. with that! Make-up, heels, or corsets. She will always be Sunshine to me!
