Today, my girl is four years old. She alternates between her girly and tomboyish sides, but the other day she wanted to be extra fancy. That meant layering every necklace she owns over her pajamas, including one with Christmas lights that blink on and off. Plus fairy wings and a charm bracelet.
She also asked me to take a picture of her “stinky feet.” Ha! See that smile?
Man, we love that girl. She’s turning out to be someone pretty amazing. Happy birthday, kiddo.

Ha, Love “fancy” Eleanor! :) Seriously can’t help but smile when I look at these photos. :)
Isn’t it so fun as they become older and you really get to know the wonderful little person that they are!

Gosh, I’m crushing on Eleanor’s charm bracelet. How adorable is that! She certainly has an eclectic style.

I “met” you in the Chicago Tribune when Eleanor was a newborn. Just stopping by the say that she appears to be an intelligent, fun-loving and stylish girl. I keep thinking I might run into y’all (I’m from the south!) about town one day. Happy Birthday Eleanor!
Best,
Bonnie

Happy Birthday Eleanor! I can’t believe you have been her for four years, it was just yesterday you were in your Mommy’s tummy!

Happy Birthday, Eleanor! Man, I needed this today. I’m feeling a little down and among other things feel like my little girl is growing too quickly. She’ll be 2 in a few months. This was such a timely reminder that four years old is just as awesome as 1 year old and we still have so much wonderful, sparkly, accessory-layered, silly, creative girly fun in the years to come.

You still have so much fun ahead. I know though — they grow up way too quickly.

She’s all kinds of precious, that one. Happy birthday to Eleanor and to all of you. And hey, enjoy 4. Four year olds are pretty much the awesome-est.

Love!!! Nicole, E’s bracelet is too cute. My girls would love something similar. Is hers a custom piece? Where can I get them something similar?
Making it Lovely
Check out your local Gap! They sell them by the register, usually, with all kinds of adorable charms.

Where did you get her charm bracelet? I love it and so would my daughters. Looks a little retro, which I love!
Making it Lovely
The charm bracelet, and most of the charms, are from Gap Kids.
Danielle
YES! This reminded me of those charm necklaces I had back the day. It is so cute!

First time commenting but I just had to do so b/c as soon as I saw your daughter with all her necklaces I laughed, if only b/c I recognize a huge batch of them in my own daughter’s room. Happy Birthday to your little one!
