I may be a bit partial because of my obsession with the color green and, well….the fact that I adore this kid, but….I’m pretty sure she’s rockin’ the Babylegs this fall.

And, just for kicks, I had to share this next picture.  The story that goes along with it is as follows:

We were outside that morning enjoying the cool air when the trash truck turned onto our street.  Now, while Elliott is the toughest, bravest, most fearless person I’ve ever known, there is one thing that sends her running to Mommy….and that’s the trash truck.  She whimpers and hides from it without ever taking her eyes off of it.  Just after I got this picture of her, she turns to me and says, “Mommy!  Truck!  EAT!!!”

So I ask, “The truck eats?”

She’s looking very concerned as she watches it continue down our street. “Uh huh!”

Understanding that the truck must seem like some fearsome, prehistoric animal when you’re under 3 ft tall, I play along and say, “Yep.  The truck eats the trash.”

She looks at me and shakes her head.  “No.  Truck.  Eat.  Mimi!!!!”

“The truck is going to eat Grammy??”

With her lip quivering, she very gravely nods and says, “Uh huh.”

Once I got her to understand that the truck only ‘eats’ trash and will not harm her Grammy, she felt a bit better.  She is still a bit suspicious of it and keeps her eye on it every second while it’s doing its business.

I think they about the cutest things I can put on her and I’m so excited that the weather is getting cooler so she can wear them all the time!

For those of you who know and love Babylegs, enjoy the cuteness that follows! For those of you that haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing Babylegs, you are about to discover something wonderful! They’re leg warmers for babies, toddlers….and, well, anyone else who wants to wear them! They make diaper changes easy-peasy, since there’s no pulling pants up and down. They protect little knees from scrapes and carpet burn. And in our case, they’re going to take Elliott’s summer mini skirts into the fall and winter! Did I mention that I love these things???

I had hoped to have her model all 4 pair of them for you today, but she just wasn’t cooperating for pictures. It was icky and rainy out, so I can’t say that I blame her. We’ll just have to do each pair their own post….after all, they deserve it. They’re that cute!

She’s running around in this pair right now:

They’re called ‘Brite’ and you’ll find them under the ‘Retro’ and ‘Organic’ catergories on their site. So yeah…how cool is that? Organic. Good stuff. Not only are they made of really nice, soft organic cotton, they also remind me of my beloved Lite Brite from my childhood. That’s the good stuff. Do you remember the way your Lite Brite smelled as the light bulb heated the plastic? Is it weird that I found that to be a pleasant smell and associate the memory of that smell with wonderful, creative, peaceful moments in my childhood?

Back to the matter at hand…check these out…

I think they look absolutely fun with her high-tops, too! Our whole family lives in our converse, but she totally rocks them with her skirt and Babylegs, don’t ya think?

I’ll be showing off her other fun ones soon! Keep an eye out! In the meantime, go shop around! Babylegs.com!!!
