She won the "Little Miss Liberty Bell" Queen title two weeks ago, along with Best Dressed for the whole pageant, Most photogenic, Prettiest Hair, Prettiest Eyes, and Best Smile.
We were most excited about Best Dressed- this was her first pageant with a wardrobe change (and without two front teeth!) AND it had a patriotic theme. There were tons of sweet little girls in their red, white, and blue- ruffles and sparkles and bows included! We went a different route... LP wore child-sized BDUs with black boots and her Daddy's beret :) I added a rhinestone flag and a rhinestone star on the front and pink glitter on the back (Staff Sargeant West's Little Girl). I gotta say, I worked really hard on it and I was thrilled with the outcome- even more thrilled that she won for it!
I honestly think she could have taken overall Grand Supreme- but she had ONE judge that scored her pretty low. I have a feeling it was her makeup- I went a little heavier than usual. Oh well, she had fun!
17 trophies (14 in 2011), 2 crowns, 5 tiaras, and 7 medals... I think she needs a bigger shelf!
I'm not sure if it sounds like I'm bragging? Maybe. And maybe I am! I'm proud of my girl- not for her trophies, but for her fun spirit, her love of life and people... and I happen to think we made a pretty baby :)
My child competes in pageants (per her request), that makes me a pageant mom. I root for her to do her best at anything she tries. She doesn't practice all the time and we don't spend a lot of money, but I want to give her what I can if this is what she wants to do. I also want her to have fun, so when she says "I want to do a twirl on stage!"... I say, "Then go do a twirl, baby girl!". I stand in the back and make silly faces to make her laugh, (although her eye contact with the judges is great, so she never sees me). She does well because she likes to do her best and you can tell she's having fun and... we made a pretty baby :)
