dress ups (she's already a girl)

Ellie opened her dresser this morning.
One piece after another, she brought me her clothes
and asked me/begged me/ squealed "uhhh!" and sat in my lap and stuck out her legs
until I placed each item on her chubby little body.

Then she gave a happy little sigh and toddled out of her room, pointing at her outfit.

And so girlhood begins.
