She was so excited for school to start and was especially excited to go school shopping - she has quite the style. I swapped babysitting so her and I could go shopping together (because I know if I pick it out, she won't wear it). Her other clothes requests recently have been a church outfit that is a separate skirt and top and a tankini swim suit. Her and I basically had to compromise on everything. Her very favorite thing we found was a long maxi skirt. She would wear it everyday if I let her. Lots of animal prints and animal shirts too.
Rachel also picked out a Ninja Turtle backpack (thank you, cousin Kennedy)! I asked her for about it for two weeks before I bought one because I was afraid she'd change her mind, but she was sure!
Email from her teacher about Rachel on 8/20/14: "I just have to tell you that she is such a great kid! She is so respectful and sweet. I love having her in class!" This was such a simple note from her teacher, but means so so much to me (and it seriously brought a tear to my eye)! It's hard to describe the relief and gratitude I feel to know that a teacher cares for my child (at church, school, extracurricular activities, etc.).

What a good mama to let her have so much input on her style. Sometimes I have to remind myself it doesn't matter how cute I think they look if they don't feel good about it they won't feel confident. It looks like you did a great job accomplishing both.
What a sweet note from her teacher. Who wouldn't love having Rachel in their class.
And to answer your question we have been loving Brynn's shorter hair. So much easier!! I'm looking at these pictures of Rachel and I think I might even let her go that short next time. After all, her request was to have short hair like Rachel Faye.
She is adorable! Those teacher notes are the best!
