I know this will be hard for anyone who knows me to believe but I do make my fair share of parenting mistakes! Ha! Yes that's a joke not because I don't make any mistakes; I make a lot of mistakes! But I always do the best I can.
Last summer I had a foggy moment while shopping for my trip to visit Aunt Stephanie in Florida. I bought Lilly a bikini that was on clearance at Old Navy. I think it was about $4. I thought it would be funny for her to wear it to the beach. We packed it but she never even wore it on our trip. I never thought about the suit again.
This summer Lilly happened upon her bikini. She loves it. She wants to wear it all the time (it still fits). I hid it. She found it. I think it's totally "inafrofriate" as Lilly likes to say it. I wish I hadn't bought it. But she's 3 and it's not the end of the world. I do see kids in suits like this one at the pool but I always put Lilly in a one piece suit.
Today I was tutoring and told Lilly to go put on a bathing suit so Andy could take her to the pool. She came down dressed and proud in her bikini. She danced.

She posed.
And she watched TV while waiting on Daddy.
And then they headed to the pool... bikini and all.
