I am not surprised, since most cloths for girls theses days – specially for babies and toddlers- are pink or purple. My daughter (4 ½) is into purple as well. Most products for little girls involve Disney’s Princesses, long dresses and fairy tales. It is simply called “brainwash”. My daughter when she grows up wants to marry a prince and be a Mummy!!! My husband gets a bit upset with all these girly things but I just laugh. Let them be little girls, they grown up so fast how longs is this going last? So little girls are everywhere the same!

When she was 6 1/2 to 7, however, things started to change. Now she is into black converse shoes and pants, pants, pants! While her girliness may seem excessive now, try to enjoy it! There WILL be a time when you wish she would put on a dress! My now 8-year old daughter sounds just like Sara! When she was 6 1/2 to 7, however, things started to change.

My 4 year old daughter is into pink big time, she is also into princess dresses and ballet clothes, etc. A very normal little girl apparently. In a way she is funny and cute when she wears her pinky dresses (although I insist this is kept inside the house, boring mum that I am) but above everything else SHE IS HAPPY AND HAS SO MUCH FUN! It really stroke me when I looked at the pictures of Esther's daughter above, they could totally have been pictures of my daughter, exactly the same difference in style. To come back to my mum, she is the one who pointed out how happy and pround were the little girls when wearing their princess outfits. And she also said that she was sometimes mad at my sister and I for our pink dressing up (although she must be confused, I would never have done that!) but then came the jeans + T-shirt era and there was nothing that could be done against that, no skirt, no dress would ever be allowed in our cupboards.... for a few long years. So there is always something to complain about! On this one I would refer to my mum, my wise mum I should say.

Yuck! So whereas I would prefer brown or navy or maybe even aubergine, she would prefer pink. I hear it's a phase they do grow out of-fingers crossed!

I think girls are just hard-wired for bags, pink, etc, living out the princess fantasy. They will, in all likelihood, grow out of it, especially as they see their mothers wearing jeans and not pink!

The beautiful pink princess!! Try as I might to get her to wear different colours, she has had pink everything and is quite determined about it. !! I too dislike pink, and wonder how I produced such a girlie girl !! My other daughter was a complete tom boy, hated pink and still does, so in a way I was glad to get a girlie girl really, and to be fair we are getting over the pink phase a little now. I bought her a beautiful black summer dress fro our hols in Italy, and she wore it!! We had pink hair slides !! My other daughter is only 9months, what next I wonder!! this is so funny, I have exactly the same scenario with my four year old Sofia. The beautiful pink princess!!
