She wears them all over the house, anytime she can get her hands on them. Most of you know I'm not into the princess/girly thing. I'd much rather her be a tomboy who plays soccer and reads lots of books so it's a little weird seeing her do such girl things. Then I started to realize that she does those things not because she wants to be a girl so much as she wants to be like me. Which is scary and touching and great and humbling all at the same time. There are things I would love for her to have that are like me; a love of reading, for example. But there is a much longer list of things that I would hate for her to have (I won't list them here). I'm wondering how to ensure that she only gets my good qualities, so if anyone has any tips send them my way.

1 thing to remember, is that kids learn from example. They love you, so right now, @ this age, especially, you are their primary roll models. Like that saying goes, "Imitation is the highest form of flattery.". So remember, they're watching you, & they want to be just like you. So it's very important to always think about the kind of example you're setting for them.
But Amber, seriously, you seem like a pretty nice girl. I'm sure they see that in you. Just do your best. It looks to me like your doing a fabulous job.
