My New Girl Friend

I now have one... in my girl!

I spent the last coupla days 'back to school' shopping with Rave.
What an awesome experience!

Rave is so clear ...about her choices.
She has great sense of style and on the buck for current styles.
She isn't brand focused nor is she into character stuff like iCarly / whatever.
And she could care less what her friends wear ... have.

Picking folders... She liked a purple jazzy one with shiny dots. She later found another one with art-decco styling and liked it more. When I pointed her to yet another design... she goes
'Mom stop confusing me. I like what I picked'

same for pants... shoes... back pack... many styles... many more colors... don't faze her ONE bit!

If something she picks is way over priced... and I explain to her why I can't buy it for her, she so gets it and doesn't sulk at all. :)

She picks ONE and her choice is made. NO second thoughts.
I SO LOVE THAT!
* I still have trouble... with choosing. and will stand for hours... trying to decide which color / style is better*

Whatz great for me is... I only have to point her to what we need and she is making the decisions for herself. I am so loving that! that she can choose wisely AND that I don't have to make the decision.

even with food...
what would you like to eat Rave? pizza... burger... hot dog?
She goes...'I had a burger yesterday... I'll go with the hot dog today. Don't forget the soda'

She goes n seats herself on a bar stool and waits patiently. Sips her soda... and just is so basically calm. She doesn't nag at all!

I love it! I now have a girl friend in my dotter...
and am gonna enjoy many many years of shopping with her :)
