Beauty contests...I've never been a fan. Actually,that's not completely true. As a little girl, I remember liking to watch the Miss America pageant on tv or the queen contest at the county fair. But as I got older, I lost my fascination for them. Probably because I wasn't "that girl". I never was a prom queen, homecoming queen or anything along those lines. Not that I wouldn't have liked getting all dolled up. But, I never was chosen to participate in such things. And after going through those awkward teenage years with body image struggles and such, I decided pageants were silly and part of the reason why some girls are unhappy with themselves.
Yet, tonight, my mom casually mentioned that I should put Kayelynn in our county fair baby contest. And for some odd reason, I find myself wanting to enter her. It makes no sense. Why do I want to do this? I already know she is adorable and I love her no matter what. So is the baby contest harmless fun or a really bad idea? Any comments?
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...

Oh I so know what you mean. I just debated over the same thing. But it turned out that the same weekend that was going on I had two other things going and it was just too darn hot. I guess I felt the same way, I mean we both know our girls are the cutest little princesses ever, I guess we just want everyone else to see how cute they are too. Mine was a pride issue I guess, but I have found myself wanting to give Taryn everything I never had. Does that make me a bad mommy?? I mean I just want the best for her. I don't want to live thru her though!!!Hmm deep thoughts.......
Is anyone reading this?
I'd totally vote for her!!!
Sorry havent written in a while. been on vacation. I put Drew in a cutest baby contest when he was little and it upset me that he didnt win when others in the crowd came up to me an told me my child was way cutter than the one who actually won. So there fore I didnt put Hannah in any contest, because I couldn't bear the pain on it in my heart, not necessarily becuause she didnt deserve to be shown off. so show her off, but guard your heart.
