We all need our "power outfits", the outfits that make us feel put together, able to accomplish great things. It starts young. This morning I was treated to a mini-fashion show on the front steps of my apartment building. I was just on my way home from church as the B family was on their way out to church. H is a delightful girly-girl, three and a half years old. M is a precocious, equally delightful boy's boy, five years old.
M: Hi, Sandra! LOOK AT MY NEW SHOES! [Bounces on the spot to show off the flashing red lights on clearly new sneakers.]
S: Wow, M. Those look like super-hero shoes, for sure!
H: I'M WEARING MY NEW SPRING DRESS! [Pulls aside her sweater to reveal a pink and yellow concoction of floral bliss.]
M: THEY'RE NOT HERO SHOES, THEY'RE POWER RANGER SHOES!
S: Oh, better yet!
H: I'VE GOT NEW SHOES, TOO! [Wrangles her left foot out of the stroller to get dangerously close to my eye level, showing off white buckle-up dainties.]
M: I'VE GOT POWER RANGER UNDERWEAR ON, TOO!
And so, beaming with pride and confidence, the Flower Princess and mini-Power Ranger head off to wow their world.
