my seven year old cousin came to town last weekend (with mom & dad & big brother in tow of course) so we naturally had to play with photobooth. she also painted my nails (hot pink with purple polka dots) and did my hair (you can never have too many butterfly clips). we made a fort in my room later and watched little princess until i fell asleep. i can't believe how grown up she looks. and she's infinitely better at doing hair and nails than i will ever be. some small things about our visit disturbed me though. she insisted on playing songs on youtube while we did makeovers and often brought up songs i think are innappropriate for her age group (katie perry? songs featuring ludacris?) and what was even worse, she knew the lyrics! so there's my sweet little cousin singing about 'melting your popsicle' and prancing around in bikini tops - call me a prude, but i think she's way too young for that. but my aunt mag has never had a girl before and i don't think she's totally tuned in to what her youngest child is listening to. furthermore, she made several odd comments. at one point she pinched my arms and told me they were fat. while going through pictures, she saw one of my mom's tap instructor, who is very pretty & the nicest person ever and she remarked, "she's pretty- she must be really mean." where is she getting this? does she think those things go hand in hand? i just hope this is a phase and these ideas aren't penetrating too deeply into her still-moldable brain. she's just so darn cute.
