What to do?

I have been thinking I would like to put Bryn in a beauty pageant and I recently found one that sounds to be perfect. It's called Beehive Beauties. It's an all natural pageant so no make up and a bunch of other craziness. As I keep pondering and reading their website I can't but to have second thoughts. For one, you are given a theme to follow and for this certain pageant the two themes are beach wear (no bikinis) and formal wear and u feel as though I just don't have it in me right now to be taking that on by that meaning trying to find the perfect outfits and accessories. I drive myself and my Mom crazy when it comes to things like this. It's a major ordeal to even have pictures done with the kids. I want everything to be perfect and it puts far too much stress and anxiety on me. Why I do that to myself, I have no idea?!

Besides all of my craziness, the biggest draw back to these beauty pageants is what if we don't win. Right now Bryn is not going to understand but it still breaks my heart for her or any girl to think they are not pretty enough and that they are being judged on their looks. From what I have read about this certain pageant, all the girls are Beehive Beauty winners and I believe get some sort of tiara or something like that but I still can't get over it. "Sorry honey but you aren't cute enough.". I can't even imagine trying to explain this to your little girl.

So, now that I have pondered on it for weeks, talked about it with everyone I know, and now blogged about it, I have decided against it. It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks about how cute or not cute my little girl is because to us she is perfect! The most beautiful little girl I know! Don't you agree?!
